Ethiopian Airlines, formerly Ethiopian Air Lines and often referred to as simply Ethiopian, is Ethiopia's flag carrier and is wholly owned by the country's government. Ethiopian Air Lines was founded on 21 December 1945 and commenced operations on 8 April 1946 expanding to international flights in 1951. Ethiopian is a member of the International Air Transport Association, and, since 1968, of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA). [7] The airline is a Star Alliance member since December 2011.

Its hub and headquarters are at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, from where it serves a network of 80 passenger destinations —19 of them domestic— and 23 freighter ones.

Procedures for Foreign Registered Aircraft

For all the humanitarian flights, permission from Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to be obtained to land (international landing) or over fly the territory of Ethiopia. To operate within the territory of Ethiopia, application for operating permits for foreign operators to be submitted to Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority. The following documentation need to be attached.

• Air operator certificate
• Certificate of aircraft registration
• Aircraft radio license
• Air crew documents (original to be presented)
• Contract agreement for the intended operation in Ethiopia

At the time of inspection, original copy of above documents are verified, as well as operations manual, maintenance control manual, etc.

Ethiopia is a land-locked country with no direct access to the sea, hence, is dependent on ports in neighbouring countries. The main corridor into Ethiopia is through Djibouti port for commercial, government and humanitarian cargo. Overall, 95 % of the goods handled by Djibouti Port are destined for Ethiopia. Considering the historical issues of congestion in Djibouti, diversification of ports and corridors is of interest for Ethiopia.  

While Djibouti port previously accounted for 99% of the flow of goods in and out of Ethiopia, this has declined to 92% when the country started using Berbera Port. Berbera Port is a shallow port whose proximity to Ethiopia, and hence cost effectiveness, is attractive. However, the river flooding during the rainy season and numerous checkpoints along the Berbera-Wajale Road may cause delays and accessibility challenges. 

Alternative ports include ports of neighbouring countries. Mombasa Port is a key entry and exit port in the region and is well connected with over 40 shipping lines calling and providing direct connectivity to 80 seaports worldwide. It is close to Southern Ethiopia, with a new container terminal and other construction underway to increase its capacity. The Lamu Port is also expected to increase capacity as a Kenya Vision 2030 flagship project.  

Port Sudan is located on the Red Sea some 475 km by rail northeast of the Nile River. However, due to distance, high transit costs and ongoing conflict, Port Sudan has not been much used by Ethiopia. Ports in Somali and Eritrea remain inaccessible due to conflict and insecurity 

Ethiopia also has 9 Dry ports to facilitate transportation of commodities. The dry ports are located in Modjo, Kality, Gelan, Semera, Dire Dawa, Kombolcha, Mekelle, Hawassa and Woreta.

Overview

Ethiopia being a land locked country is using the neighbouring Djibouti port as the main access to sea port for mainly government import export business. Berbera Port in neighbouring Somalia is mostly used by Humanitarian communities such as WFP Ethiopia and Djibouti are connected through a paved road as well as a railway network.  Ethiopia’s reopening of diplomatic relations with Eritrea has created the expectation of expanded logistics operations via the Eritrean ports of Assab and Massawa. However, in the near future there are no expectations of these ports to be used Rapid economic growth for over a decade coupled with the creation of the African Continental Free Trade Area and growth of Ethiopian cities has increased demand for freight and public transport. The Ethiopian transport sector is heavily dominated by the public sector with road infrastructure development, railway sector, maritime, and logistics as well as aviation sectors heavily monopolized by the government. Private sector involvement in the transport sector was limited to public and freight transport services, freight forwarding and chartered flight services with small passenger aircrafts. https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/ethiopia-roads-railways-and-logistics   

The Government of Ethiopia identified the transport sector as a game changer to maintain the country’s impressive economic growth trajectory, and it formed a National Transport Council that will lead the reform program in the sector. In the recent years, the Council formulated and endorsed a national transport policy (March 2020), a national logistics strategy (2020 to 2030) and policy, and the transport sector’s 10-year perspective plan (2020 to 2030).  According to the government’s 10-year transport perspective plan, the country envisages to invest 3.0 trillion birr (approximately $58 billion) in the sector in the next ten years and identified the private sector as an engine and active participant in this development planhttps://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/ethiopia-roads-railways-and-logistics 

In 2020 Ethiopia has an estimated 144,024 kilometers (89,492 miles) of all-weather roads – about 41% of the required road network in the country, while in 2022/23 it is estimated to be 180,000km. In the past 15 years, the Government of Ethiopia has been engaged in expanding the road network. The Ethiopian Roads Authority plans to build an additional 10,000 km of road at a cost of 41 billion Birr ($1.5 billion). It is estimated that the federal road network is about 41,000 km, including 4,400 bridges and 40,600 culverts.  

The Government of Ethiopia is currently implementing a $2 billion National Logistics Development (NLD) strategy to alleviate trade logistic hurdles. According to the ten years perspective plan (2020 to 2030), the GOE aspires to:  

• Increase the total road coverage of the country from the current 144,027 kms to 245,942 kms.  

• Upgrade and strengthen the existing 28,099 km federal and regional roads.  

• Increase the coverage of regular and alternating road maintenance from the current 131,596 kms to 808,662 kms.  

•  Construct 3,000Km of Road for non-motorized transport services (Walking and Cycling).

Road Security and Accessibility 

Ethiopia has a population of approximately105 million people and a gross domestic product of US$ 111.27 billion. There are number of issues to address in road safety in Ethiopia, including major risk factors, coordination of road safety work, institutional capacity and data collection systems. Ethiopia prepared the “National Road Safety Strategic Plan of Ethiopia 2011 to 2021 “ to address the road security and safety issues. 

Road network is basically accessible there could be some challenges in certain areas associated with pockets of insecurity in Northern Ethiopia or other parts of the country as well. In certain locations, areas may be hard to reach due to rough, unpaved, and inadequate roads, which is exacerbated during the rainy season (June-September). Rough roads may also lead trucks to face mechanical issues, with little access to workshops for maintenance along the way. In addition, the prevailing seasonal weather conditions must also be taken into consideration, wash ways, flooded rivers that cause roads to be impassable, the presence of animals on the road (camels, livestock) and the bad conditions of several roads (potholes etc.). The distances are vast, there is negligible roadside support in case of accidents or breakdowns, and thus it is important to adhere to security procedures and standards.  

Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits 

The axle load limit in case of Ethiopia for Front Axle is 8 Ton and Rear Axle is 10 Ton as per the old regulation, however taking into account a new regulation it has the below provisions. 

• The mass of a single axle fitted with two or three wheels - 

1. which is a steering axle, exceeds 7 700 kilograms; or 

2. other than a steering axle, exceeds 8 000 kilograms. 

• The axle mass of a single axle fitted with four wheels is 10 000 kilograms 

• The maximum permissible mass for a tandem axle fitted with four wheels, and- 

1. which is a steering axle unit, exceeds 15 400 kilograms; or 

2. which is a tandem axle unit other than a steering tandem axle unit, exceeds 16 000 kilograms. 

• The maximum permissible mass of tandem axle unit fitted with eight wheels, is 18 000 kilograms but for a tandem axle - 

• The maximum permissible mass for a tridem axle unit where each axle is fitted with two or three wheels, and- 

1. which is a steering axle unit, exceeds 23 100 kilograms; or 

2. which is an axle unit other than a steering axle unit, exceeds 24 000 kilograms; or 

• The maximum permissible mass for a tridem axle unit where each axle is fitted with four wheels, exceeds 24 000 kilograms; and 

• A person may not operate on a public road a vehicle fitted with a quadrem axle unit. 

• The total will not be more than 56 tons.

Website of the Ethio-Djibouti Railway 

• Ethiopia being one of the developing countries needs to be integrated with global economy and that can only be possible through efficient and effective flows of goods to and from the country in international trade. To this end, the country needs to adopt or develop an efficient multimodal transport system for freight transport. Railway infrastructure is one the most important part of economic infrastructure. Transport infrastructure and services, including shipping, ports, roads and railways are essential for global merchandise trade, and related supply chains. Where transport infrastructure is poor, the development of multimodal transport may not be easy. In order to be able to be gain maximum benefit from multimodal transport, infrastructure that is capable of handling containers must be in place. The development of multimodal transport is inter-linked with the transport infrastructure facilitates. Infrastructure facilities such as seaports, railway, roads, and airports are supported the multimodal transport services in order to deliver the cargo safely and rapidly 

• Addis Ababa-Djibouti railway project is envisaged as a major export and import connection linking land locked Ethiopia with Djibouti Port in the Red Sea’s international shipping routes.  It is the first modern cross-border, standard gauge, electrified railway in Africa with the total length of 756km, (656km in Ethiopia section and 100km in Djibouti section), stretches from Addis Ababa (capital of Ethiopia), then runs along Adama, Dire Dawa (two big cities of Ethiopia), and ends in Djibouti port. It was designed and constructed in compliance with Class II Chinese electrified railway standard at design speed of 120km/h. Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway is the main channel for import and export of goods in Ethiopia and hinterland in Eastern Africa, middle axle of the economic and traffic corridor in Central Region, Western and Eastern Region of Ethiopia. 

• A modern Chinese train control system CTC was adopted to the railway line to ensure safe and efficient transport. Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) integrates the computer technology, network communication technology and modern control technology, adopts the intelligent decentralized and autonomous design principle, and takes the train operation adjustment plan control as the central part. Centralized dispatching control system (CTC) refers to the technical equipment that the dispatching center centrally controls the signal equipment in a dispatching section and directly commands and manages the train operation .Lebu operation control center (OCC) is the main center to dispatch a train along the whole line .There are two dispatching centers in the whole line of Addis Ababa Djibouti railway, Labu dispatching center and Nagad dispatching sub center. 

Freight Stations layout and Facilities 

• The Addis Ababa - Djibouti Railway has created a suitable transportation corridor for Ethiopia’s import and exports. It has reduced the travel time for freight and passengers. For freight transport, it has reduced the journey time between Djibouti and the Ethiopian dry port of Modjo from 84 hours to 10 to 15 hours. In addition, the railway line is playing a positive role in the Ethiopian agriculture sector development with agricultural production increasing with port connectivity. The Railway line has modern freight facilities including well –equipped warehouse and Freight yards. All freight stations were interconnected with modern and reliable optical fiber communication system. There is also a freight management system, which enable to control and monitor the movement of goods by railway throughout the line.

River and/or Lake Port Assessment

Ethiopia does not have any major river ports. Gambella Region has the Baro River which has been utilized during the rainy season for transporting emergency supplies to the Upper Nile State of South Sudan in 2012 and 2013

Gambella River Update

There are 4 river ports in Gambella; Gambella, Itang, Matar (Alwero River) and Burbe. They are accessible at various times of the year dependent on water levels. On average very high-water levels from July to October during the rainy season and very low water levels from January to April. It is important to note that the road section at Puldieng, which is about 65 km from Gambella town on the way to Mater port, floods during the rainy season due to the Baro river busting its banks and, in most cases, becomes impossible until the water recedes. That section of the road and other smaller sections ahead were completely cut off in 2014 and 2020 by flood waters rendering no access to Mater port by road. On both occasions repairs were carried out by the Ethiopia Road Authority (ERA) to enable access. The majority of boats using the river have a capacity of 30MT although several can carry 40 to 50MT. They are used regularly to transport commercial goods and people between South Sudan and Gambella. From late July till October it is possible to utilize a large barge with up to 1,600MT capacity from Gambella river port. This barge was utilized in 2012 from Gambella to Upper Nile State in South Sudan. Gambella port is accessible when the water levels are very high. Also, important to note is that along the river there are rocks on the riverbed that hinder smooth navigation of boats and therefore extra caution has to be taken. Currently, river transporters are hesitant in using Gambella port for the sole reason of possible damage to their boats and loss of cargo.
