And the $480m Ethiopian order covers Trent XWB engines for 12 A350-900 XWB planes that will begin service in 2017.
It came after Ethiopian Airlines announced a $3bn aircraft order with Airbus.
The airline made an initial draft request for the dozen extra-wide bodied A350-900s in July and confirmed the deal at the air show, the biggest in the Middle East.

Roads to Link 18,000 Kebeles
The Ethiopian Roads Authority is expected to submit to the Prime Minister’s office the final action plan of the Universal Road Access Programme, which aims to create road connection for all kebeles in the country.

The programme was developed by the central committee of the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) to provide road access to all kebeles in Ethiopia. The proposition was made at the eighth general assembly the ruling party held in Hawassa, the seat of the Southern Regional State, early in 2008.

ERA, assigned with the task of developing the action plan which it had been working until now, would realize that objective in seven years. The Authority had brought the programme to the floor at the annual meeting of road sector stakeholders held in Hawassa on December 25 and 26, 2008.

All regional roads authorities, with the exception of the Addis Abeba City Roads Authority (AACRA) are said to have given their inputs for the programme during the meeting.
