heavy traffic generated on its routes to the Indian subcontinent, the
flagship carrier of the East African nation of Ethiopia has named its
newest Boeing 787 Dreamliner after India’s most famous monument.
The Ethiopian Airlines (ET) has named its eighth 787 Dreamliner after the Taj Mahal, Mughal emperor Shah Jahan’s monument of love to his wife. This is the first time that the airline has named an aircraft of its Dreamliner fleet after a historical or heritage site outside of Africa.
