Wings of Africa
The Rise of Ethiopian Airlines
Some stories are about airplanes. This one is about people, vision, and the determination to build something that lasts.
In Wings of Africa, Sertsu G. Medhin takes readers behind the scenes of Ethiopian Airlines and into the heart of one of Africa’s greatest institutional success stories. Drawing from decades of firsthand experience, he reveals how a modest national carrier grew into a global aviation powerhouse through discipline, resilience, and unwavering belief in excellence. This is a story of ambition tested by political change, personal sacrifice, tragedy, and triumph. More than a history of an airline, it is a testament to what becomes possible when a nation dares to think beyond its limitations.
