Ethiopian Airlines has been awarded the US President’s Lifetime Achievement Award, the airline confirmed in a statement this weekend.
“This award recognizes the airline’s outstanding contributions and dedicated service to communities across the United States,” the statement said.
The award, signed by U.S. President Joseph R. Biden, was presented to Ethiopian Airlines during the 8th annual Galla Dinner hosted by Black IAM at the Hilton Atlanta Airport Hotel.
“Our commitment to excellence and spirit of unity have been the driving force behind our services for nearly eight decades. This award is not only a recognition of our efforts to date, but also a shining example of the future, taking us to even greater heights in service and connectivity,” said Mesfin Tasew, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines Group.
He said the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our employees, partners and shareholders.
The CEO said that as a member of the American TSA PreCheck program, Ethiopian will continue to innovate and enhance the customer experience to ensure passengers enjoy an unparalleled travel experience.
Ethiopian Airlines most recently generated revenue of $7.02 billion in the 2023/2024 fiscal year, which ended on July 7.
