True, 12 ordered, nothing said about when they will delivered.
Ethiopian to acquire 12 A350s and five 777-200LRs
Earlier announcement said 2017. So ET will still be "boeing only" for almost a decade. Meanwhile they'll get 5 777's beginning 2010 and 10 787's (once boeing gets them to fly...). So I doubt Seattle is terribly worried yet.
ET amazes me - they remain a safe and commercially successful airline through Ethiopias communism, famine, civil wars, wars, dictators..
