(Maybe) some African countries in major markets are interested in cross-ownership of shares.

The concern has always been not to diversify too much because different types add complexity to the operation and make the cost of operation very high, so it is not recommended. But we are growing, the fleet is around 80 now. So any fleet type on its own will be around 20: the minimum size to justify the training of new pilots and technicians. This is the right time. At the same time, for competition reasons, it is required.

We have 14 of these A350 and we have more (Boeing) 787s. We are comparing the A350-1000 and also the 777X. Depending on which performs well out of Addis Ababa at altitude and high temperature, we are going to make that decision.

They (Boeing) will continue to take the larger share but Airbus will continue to grow.

This fleet (of Airbus A350-900), as a core fleet in our network, is going to grow, we haven't been able to quantify the right numbers but definitely we are going to order more. At least more than 10.

It has affected one of our freighters - a freighter aircraft (Boeing) 777 which we took delivery in December. We had to find a bank to finance that. Fortunately we got one so we are okay.
