Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest network carrier, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Safran for the provision of Z400 economy class seats for 8 Boeing 777-9 aircraft at the Aircraft International Exhibition in Hamburg.
The delivery of the new aircraft is set for mid-2027. Each aircraft will be equipped with 383 passenger seats in economy class showcasing Ethiopian Airlines' commitment to expand its fleet and support it growth trajectory.
The Z400 seats chosen by Ethiopian Airlines represent the ultimate choice for long-range operations, offering passengers an improved inflight entertainment experience with the latest generation 13-inch screens, a notable upgrade from the previous 11.6-inch displays.
Furthermore, the seats are 12.5% lighter than the previous generation seats due to fewer components and the use of advanced lightweight materials, ensuring cost efficient operation and sustainability.
Ethiopian Airlines and Safran have cultivated a strong, long-standing partnership over the years, highlighted by the ongoing collaboration to equip their A350 aircraft with business and economy class seatings.
Commenting on the collaboration, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mr. Mesfin Tasew said, “We are pleased to have signed this MoU with Safran for the provision of the Z400 seats for our 777-9 aircraft. As a technology driven airline, we are committed to enhancing our passengers’ onboard experience through state-of-the-art technology that offer passenger comfort while also ensuring operational efficiency and sustainability.”
Victoria Foy, CEO of Safran Seats, commented, "We are delighted to deepen our partnership with Ethiopian Airlines by providing our advanced Z400 seats for their B777-9 fleet. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to innovation and excellence in passenger comfort, supporting Ethiopian Airlines as it expands its horizons and enhances its inflight services."
