This new aircraft, called dreamliner( Boeing 787) will transform ET's operation. Primarily Ethiopian will be able to operate its North American destination, Washington DC non stop. Meaning ET will not pay for landing fees on this route. This inturn will shorten the flight by about 1.5 hours increases profitability. The aircraft will allow higher cargo loads than presnt aircraft as it can fly higher and longer than current planes. As it will be made mainly with composite material( light and strong body part) and a new efficient engine .
