- The African aviation market has seen plenty of change in the past few years.
While South African Airways has struggled to stay afloat, Ethiopian Airlines and Kenya Airways have become stronger global competitors.
But how is each faring now in 2021? And which will ultimately succeed in becoming the dominant airline for the continent?

Ethiopian is a fine example of a well thought out, brilliant business plan, a tenacious attitude and a sensible way of doing things. Great job Ethiopian!!
Ethiopia airline is The pride of Africa 💚 💛 ❤
Thank you Gooner
Sad how Ethiopian is often ignored
you all probably dont care but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
I tried all 3 airlines, I will say Ethiopian is really a cut above the other 2.
From a Kenyan brother, well done Ethiopian. You make an inspiring pacesetter. KQ, you need to pick up some pace, the pride of a continent is at stake. As for SAA, we can start with you just picking up... Africa is finally rising, and it would be such a downer to soar into this dazzling future, only to find our skies dominated by foreign airlines.
Sadly the corruption at KQ is going to force it the same way as SAA. That said I hope that fate can be averted
I'm a proud Ethiopian,I love how countries around Ethiopia support it, Its a great representation of Africa!
As a fellow African, I place all my bets and prayers on Ethiopia! You guys are setting the example for future carriers
Ethiopian already win the battle, because it’s have good business plan, good service, and good food, make this african airline a world class
Ethiopia wins because of subsidies and other african countries dont put restrictions on you.ethiopia should also allow kenya and South African banks and insurances to their country
Good service in what terms
@@ezekielmburu3418 The Government has no money to provide the airline so they can’t get subsides. They are instead an important money provider for the Government as Ethiopia is one of the worlds poorest countries
Disagree with food..service yes
@@humbulanimulaudzi7185 their ethiopian food in business class is amazing
Ethiopian air lines is another league . The biggest aviation💚💛❤️ .
Ethiopia airlines is the pride of Africa one love Africa 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
*evovation
The big issue the narrator forgot to mention is Ethiopian Airlines has been profitable at least for the last decade ,while the other airlines have been losing money big time.On the last year Kenyan Airways lost the biggest amount of money ever in its company history.
The other thing is aircraft type , number, routes and cargo capability ,which especially save Ethiopian from losing money on the last Civid19 pandemic year.
Ethiopian Airlines is the only African operator which flies the ultramodern Airbus350-900 and Boeing 787-8 ,9 aircrafts.It has 9 B777F cargo planes for its freight routes and working on to launch The biggest and most modern airport in Africa .
Now since it already achieved the 2025 plan ,its planning to start Project 2035. with an aim to increase its fleet number to more than 200 young and ultramodern aircraft and give Qatar Airways ,Emirates and Turkish Airlines a big challenge ,at least on The African Market.
Anyway thanks for this nice Subsaharan Africa Airlunes comparism.
Ethiopia airlines is leading 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
KQ operate 787 Dreamliners and SAA operate brand new A330s, your comment about ”the only airline operating brand new aircraft” isn’t true
Ethiopian 😘😘 with LOVE from Mombasa.
We love Mombasa 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 Ethiopia airlines is the best airline in Africa visit Ethiopia experience the beauty of Africa
we Luv u too😊
Am kenyan 🇰🇪 kenya airways its the best in our country and second in east africa after ethiopia airlines🇪🇹,,anyway eastern africa wins
why you guys always compete with us?

Kenya airways is no where near Ethiopia thats a fact am a Kenyan BTW
Ethiopian airlines is only one airline that is still going to india
I don't think so ethiopian is the first and the leader.

@@vladdracula9903 It is what it's!
Kenya Airways is bankrupt and poorly managed.
There is no comparison.
It is just like Kenya itself.
The fact that Ethiopian airlines are willing to share, by agreeing to a joint venture is
what make them standout. Sharing is caring.
Ethiopan is world class 🇪🇹❤🇪🇷
not anymore now it July SAA is taking over again. this is now resolved.
@@nqubekotany134😂😂😂
As long as we keep it in the family. Africa is one!
This time is Ethiopia's time in every aspect.
Everything I've seen about Ethiopian points to it being absolutely superb, and I'd love to have the chance to fly it someday.
Fly with Ethiopia airline Good food,beautiful Cabin crew, culture and hospitality crew if you fly with Ethiopia your always choose will be Ethiopia airline 💚💛❤
It will continue to lead and working with African and other countries.
Personally i can't fly Ethiopian airways, i value my life
@@TheGeneralEntertainment you can't afford the money anyway so just fly with Your quality
we Ethiopians are welcome to serve you sir.
Am Kenyan but our brothers Ethiopia have it i must say, they're making huge moves low key while Kenya airways is drowning in poor management and corruption
💚💛❤the spirit of Africa💪💪
Go Ethiopia
I am Kenyan and I wish Kenya Airways rises all the way to the top🤗. Wakenya, Mko wapi?
Pesa ya kq inaliwa we could have been the best
Most South Africans fly either Emirates or Qatar on long haul to Europe or to connect to other continents. Would be interesting to see how many passengers those two airlines flew compared to African airlines. The reason SAA folded was due to corruption and mismanagement.
Same goes with Kenya Airways, most of their citizens fly foreign carriers to destinations that Kenya Airways already flies to and then they complain that the airline is poorly run.
@@magellanmax KQ is consistently more expensive than ET, Qatar and Emirates. They're not a charity that we should pay them more then sit around with 7 hr delays and rude staff.
@@magellanmax the difference is SAA was run well and now is just a reason for the corrupt ANC to steal money. The citizens will not support those who steal from the people.
@@ZAR-2225 SAA well-run? No it wasn’t. Or isn’t. Strategically, the airline is hobbled by location, and unlikely to ever be able to compete with KQ and ET, but on al,OST every metric since 2011, ET and KQ have outperformed SA. Not a well-run airline at all.
@@michaelx4810 talking about than 15 years ago......there is nothing much left to steal.
🇪🇹 All the way ⬆️
Ethiopian 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹💪💪💪❤❤❤❤❤
I'm Kenyan but I must say I've been impressed with Ethiopian Airlines. I realized that their foundation is more than just about profits. They are purpose driven and it shows in their extensive operations. If you look at their inner structures and policies. (The story of how the airline started says alot about where they are today and their philosophy)
Kenya airways has great potential, but is seriously affected by certain factors that I would rather not mention.
For both RSA and Kenya, it also seems to be a national problem that ends up affecting the airlines ultimately, but things are changing and will improve.
Now kq is at the top
@@VenahKerubo I wish. But it's not. You can't even compare their capacity unfortunately.
Check the latest research it's like 4-5 days ago
@@VenahKerubo ok. I really wish this were true, but it's highly unlikely. To build the kind of capacity takes years. The facilities, equipment, expertise, the systems, the knowledge base etc etc. I'll give you a simple example, look at their route networks. You dont just create all that withinn months, not to mention days. It takes alot of investment (both in terms of man power and financially), alot of commitment, it takes time.
Also, atleast withinn the airline, the investment and commitment, has to be done faithfully in whatever area is required. This is where I have a bone to pick with Kenya-airways. Again, that is my favorite airline, but certain things are...
Something that
@@markyesh5763 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yaani umeamua haumini nchi yetu
Ethiopian runs a very efficient operation with ultra modern fleet ( A350s mostly & 787s) & have a great hub at Addis Ababa. People who used to fly to via Dubai or Doha to Africa now transit via Addis. The transit times ( connecting times) at Jommo Kenyata airport are often too long & the airport is old. Makes it less attractive. I hear Rwanda is not doing bad as well.
Ethiopia airlines for ever 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Always the best Airline in Africa. 🇪🇹🇪🇹
It's always my choice no matter how!
Somali region needs independence from Ethiopia
Love ❤️ Ethiopian Airlines and the air hostesses 👍
How are you comparing a grounded airline with fast growing airlines?
because they once held the title for the biggest Airline in Africa
derp
Something wasn't clearly mentioned is that part of the Ethiopian airlines strategy they have a clear seamless timetable connection with Asky ( African Sky) hub based in Lome Togo serving all of West and central Africa.
Every day at 12:00 am in a synchronized ballet all connected flights land in Lome new airport. And at 13:00 all connected flights take off to their respective destination including Ethiopian airlines connection to the US, and Addis Ababa.
Their tickets are the most reasonable priced one.
I watch on flight radar 24 how suchronised their services are. First time I noticed this I was impressed.
Flew on ET B787 and A350 last year
Had great experience
Been flying with Ethiopian airlines it’s best airline and beautiful cabin crew best service 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹Ethiopia airlines all the way
In terms of International airline standard and experience SAA is the best but It's sad to see the downfall. I must congratulate Ethiopian Airlines for their rise.
Thanks bro Ethiopia airlines is winning 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
SAA is back now
Kenya Airways problem started since project Mawingu. And FYI we could be the lauch customer of the Dreamliner if it wasn't for further reviews into the project. I am a kenyan and it enjoys me to see Kenya Airways' plane land in JKIA especially the B787-8. But it really has to rework its strategies. How can you dominate Africa with Embraer jets really while our competitor is using bigger jets. Too late to complain though, it has already happened. But its a pleasure to see Long Haul by Simple Flying review African airlines. And it makes me happy more to see Kenya Airways.
I really love how Ethiopia has a diverse fleet of narrowbodies and wide bodies
Yeah simple flying really does a good job.
I hope Kenya airlines can be restored to its glory days
the africa uncensored expose 4 part series really shone light onto why our national airline is such a big commercial mess
Embraer is economical and not used for long haul, boeng is used for long haul
@@TheGeneralEntertainment still he has a point, how can you be a dominant airline with Embraers🤷
Pride of Afrika 🇰🇪💪🏾
Yeees KQ will rise
the new spirit of African Ethiopian airlines all the way 💚💛❤💚💛❤
Ethiopian war is about to ruin the reputation of Airline industry. thanks to Amhara naftagna mafia groups propaganda and Abiy against Oromo and Tigrey people
Even if we set aside the incredible work ET airline did in the past the strategy they used in not just escaping infact make profit in the covid crisis while so many giants around the world were suffering huge losses and had to let go of workers is outstanding which truly makes it the Pride of Africa.
I use Kenya airways but the transit is so boring and the terminal is not up nice Ethiopian is just the best .ET ET ET
🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹Ethiopian airlines win in Africa
No,you don't just want to tell the truth...Kenya airways is better

How are you Seni
@@mwanafalsafa3613she’s fine 😂😂😂
Any other message?
Wow, very nice info.. on African aviation history and current status and standings. Like to watch more.
I don't think none of the African airlines can compute with Ethiopian air lines right now the Ethiopian airlines standard and performance is super amazing its not only the air lines their there ground crew their top of the line ground technicians their facility and man power all run by Ethiopians its true its the pride of Africa with out no government subsidies.
I thank you for your kind comments. Ethiopian Airlines is our national pride and gem. Almost like a beloved wife. We treat Ethiopian Airlines like a jewel. It's our pride. The key is that none of the governments ever interfered
I have noticed from exploring the flight radar app that Ethiopia looks to have significantly more flights in recent times. This video explains why I see a lot of different airlines operating in and around South Africa.
I am so embarrassed as a South African, I still love this Country and its people but watching videos like this leaves my morale in the doldrums.
Ethiopia airlines 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 forever
Ethiopian Airlines beats SÀA , all SOEs are bankrupt , corruption is a priority in SA
Second that!
I agree. Especially airliners and Shipping lines are a proud flag carriers every where in the world. Not having a strong airliner is one thing. But buncrupting a once very much effective airliner brake a morale.
I feel like after Zuma was elected in 2009, South Africa's gradual growth died
ethiopian clearly winning!! a lot of nigerians use this, it goes to 3 states in nigeria & it’s very affordable
Keep shining Ethiopian !!
How is this even a comparison. 1 is big and has a diverse fleet, the other literally had to sell their 777-300ER’s not to go bankrupt and the last one is bankrupt and dead.
lmfao
I think SAA is not dead in the next 2 years I am sure they will be up flying with no problems, if they sold all they A320 that could help them and a few of they A340 and stay with majority of the A330 they would save lots of money and in a few years down the line buy planes like the Boeing 787 that would save them lots of fuel as a money making jesture
I love your content. Please be sharing more on African Airlines since they also participate in the global aviation arena.
you can write off SAA. it used to be the finest airline in Africa for over 40years running. Its now run into the ground as a Unionized over staffed conglomerate. Nobody want to touch precisely for that reason. Ethiopian and Virgin Air tried but pulled out for precisely that reason. They need to get rid of at least 50% of its inefficient staff
God bless Africa
I flew SAA back in 2019 on the a340 and a330, I have nothing bad to say. I flew them three times that year and never had a bad experience, the crew was super kind, the food was good, the planes were on time with no delays and all smooth flights. It’s sad to see them struggle this much, I really hope they’ll survive and make a turn for the better.
I hope it continues!
No one can compete with Ethiopian now.
I have flown SAA many times in the 80's. I love the airline and wish them luck. South Africa is an awesome country, the people are super friendly.
Great job Ethiopian! An agile strategy. From 3 M to 13.3M passengers. Wow 433% growth. Unbelievable! That is incredible to say the least. Leading not only in number of passengers but the only profitable in Africa. Keep flying Ethiopian.
Ethiopian airlines is the best airway to travel. I miss the instrumental music and the warm service from the crew 😊
የኢትዮጵያ አየር መንገድ 💚💛❤️

A good video, glad to see you covering my part of the world too. By the way, that's my picture of the SAA A350 at 1:15! Thanks for using it! 🤣
Nice shoot
do a video on Air Canada, SouthWest, Aeromexico, and/or Skywest. perhaps Volaris too.
This Ethiopian Airlines seems to be an excellent airline ! Fascinating documentary.
Fly with Ethiopian airlines you will understand what’s good service and good time means Ethiopian airlines is best airline 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
With coverage of destinations, modern airplanes, professional management and the desire to serve and succeed Ethiopian is a model of a successful entity. The maintenance and Saftey standards are beyond any carrier in the world.All the way Ethiopian world class
I think Ethiopian is my favorite airline along with FlyBe
It's the best airline in Africa soon will compit with world 💚💛❤
@@kidubg3896 already is. It's the online airline to gain money during this pandemic while other's are losing money. ET is really smart the moment covid happened they knew it will take a while to be back to normal so they switched most of their aircraft to cargo planes while others just grounded them
@@PantherX I appreciate the management of this plan to switch to cargo wow Ethiopia airlines is fewest airlines to gain money from this Horrible moment of covid..Ethiopia airlines is leading 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Great 👍 documentary report. Kenya 🇰🇪 Airways will keep rising
I worked for Boeing back in Everett plant and I can say I’m very proud to be part of the team who built two 777s for ET.
what about Royal Air Maroc and Air Senegal?
Good job ET & KQ. I am looking forward to SAA to arise back up as well. I hope the North & West will be coming soon!! kudos.
Committed and ownest leaders like Mr. Esayas Woldemariam have big contributions for the success of Ethiopian Airlines.👍👍👍
Very interesting. The untapped potential within Africa is immense. Both from passengers outside the continent and within. That sets up the potential for both transcontinental carriers and smaller continental carriers to exploit. West Africa is painfully underrepresented. That said, the country Im reasonably well acquainted with, Ghana, is currently executing a program of major airport development. Kotoka in Accra is the major hub for West Africa with a new terminal while Kumasi and Tamale are both currently under development transforming them from small national airports into international airports. A plan exists to restart a govt owned Ghanaian carrier underwritten by EgyptAir, but ill believe that one when I see it. I can only see huge expansion within Africa economically which has to be good for the continent and air travel will follow on the back of this.
West Africa aviation industry will boom when the pandemic ends
Privately-owned Air Peace, is based in Nigeria and travels to from Nigeria to Senegal, The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Dubai, (direct to) Jamaica, etc. They’re working at expanding into new routes in Africa and the rest of the globe.
Recent purchased 13 new planes from Embraer. Owner is a really nice guy, Allen Onyema, he used to be an attorney in Nigeria before he made his wealth in the real estate boom in Nigeria.
Definitely love the fact that the company is privately owned. The potential is unlimited for aviation in Africa.

@Kainpiller right and Asians apparently eat them in an inhumane way.
interesting topic
SAA almost made a killing . But was destroyed by very few corrupt individuals . It will take prayers to dig them out .
I wonder if the Narrator’s part of Simple Flying or outsourced from a voice talent company.
If he’s outsourced, he’s probably learned a great deal about the aviation industry as a whole just by reading the scripts!
I was doing some research or something a while ago and I'm 100% sure I heard his voice in some other video from last year, so he's probably outsourced. But I assume it's quite an expense
100% outsourced. thats why they got rid of the other guy as he was too expensive.
Probably a computer...

Both SAA or Egypt air even Kenyan were founded by Britain ,because they were colonized countries but the only airway in Africa independently founded and free African airway by the time and still now too is Ethiopian Airlines!! So it makes it the 1st older airline in Africa too!!!
Man stop. I am Ethiopian, but the facts are that the Americans helped a lot. The airlines had to deal with American leadership for a decade before they start managing things.

@@antony6799 Kenya airways is an outgrowth from the East African Airways? I can be corrected on that. I think that airline was established during colonial times. I think that is what the guy is alluding to.

owned by UN? ET bought them all by themselves tf u saying
@@PantherX right
all thanks for the success of Ethiopian airlines goes to the employees my brother works there and they struggle a lot to get their job done hopefully this will continue
As far as i know, Ethiopian airlines is the one in condition to take leading, it already is. For example, every time we talk about African aviation, it is always about sub saharan Africa where as the Ethiopian airlines dominates the all continent already, the fly to Arabian African countries too, they cover all continent, Kenyan airways might also have fewer arabian destinations in Africa, but not with Ethiopian Airlines, let's not talk too much about SAA once we're not sure it might revive again, its future is uncertain.
visit our motherland country Ethiopia sir we are very much welcome.
Ethiopia is growing fast soon Ethiopia is start big projects Building the biggest airport in Africa They Ethiopia will has to comput with the rest of the world with aviation industry 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Ethiopian airlines win because Kenya airways we struggle with mismanagement that digs a big debt hole in our airline industry. Congratulations Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇰🇪
Thanks 🙏 love from Ethiopia to Kenyan brothers and sisters 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹Ethiopia airlines
Ethiopian the Emirates of Africa
Nice video Simple Flying, it's a pretty well made video👍
Ethiopian Airlines is a rather pretty successful & generally great airline from Africa in my opinion, with it's ingenuity regarding business and capital management, and while I do have some confidence that Ethiopian Airlines will have continued success in the future, the airline has forced me to *stray away* from them since the airline has become more discriminatory in my home country of which deeply upsets me.
It is rather unfortunate that such great airline is becoming this way, though we shouldn't overlook their success, of which this video reviewed pretty well. Keep it up 👍
Where's your home country if you don't mind me asking
How did they discriminateted you?
@@PantherX Ethiopia

@Eddie E I can very well understand what I said there and I worded it as such intentionally, it just might be you not understanding it instead
Great example of Africa & world
Another reason could be the geological issue... for transiting between Asia and America, or Asia to Europe, it is far faster transiting via ADD or NBO, than Johannesburg or Cape Town. In the past SAA had the advantage since South Africa was the only well developed economy and infrastructure country among Sub-Saharan countries, but now the gap is rapidly closing up, if not overshadowed.
All 3 African Airlines have something unique to offer, personally I think we should celebrate their diversity and perhaps look at collaboration,This is Africa the pie is enough for everyone to enjoy .EU and Us airlines are meeting while we are busy criticising one another.
I am Kenyan but for me Ethiopian airlines is far more better.I had the best experience with Ethiopian airlines.
I think long term SAA will take over Ethiopian(under the right leadership) simply because of politics and South Africa’s economy and tourism
SAA is back on the skies now and it has made a profit for the first time after God knows how many years, i guess it just made a comeback.
Interesting
I have huge respect for ethiopian airlines. They operate the latest state of the art aircrafts like A 350-9 and B 787-8 dreamliners.The pilots are outstanding and the rest of the crews have the warmest genuine smile and service onboard. Without any exaggeration i would say : Ethiopian airlines is the lufthansa of Africa !
I think that Ethiopian and Kenya are great carriers, I hope they do well!
SAA, man I hope they survive
Ethiopian Airlines (ET) and Kenya Airlines (KQ), but dynamic Rwandair and Air Tanzania also, benefit much from the increasing development of trade and relations between India + China and Sub-Saharan Africa for which their hubs are ideally situated and from which they serve the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa. Whereas from Europe they are competive mostly only for East Africa.
The B737-800 with its longer range medium capacity also played a role.
I miss SAA 😢
This is what happens when you give a Good company to the Wrong hands!
It can be saved with new honestly management! Not the ones now who is stealing from the company
Ethiopian Airlines is the biggest Best Buy in Africa it is so great I tried it before 100% top notch I love Ethiopian Airlines you did a great job
I think there’s one airline that is going to leave all of these guys in the dust soon. Let’s talk about Air Senegal, they’ve got more non stops to the US than Kenya Airways, have lovely new A330-900NEOs with great hard and soft products, plus an amazing hub with Dakar in Senegal. This is of course on top of solid fares and route maps, plus in Europe, connections are plentiful with them having codeshare agreements with the Air France/KLM/Transavia group. That and also Air Mauritius is seriously under rated.
Well, ranking them in terms of success won’t be difficult..... Hope SA government can formulate that new carrier.
Alright, as I aviator, I can strongly agree that Ethiopian is the Pride of Africa
Why may you ask?
Ethiopian airlines have cheap tickets ex ICN - NBO is one thousand dollars than other airlines. The service on Ethiopian is outstanding I'd say which is great for an airline. Ethiopian Airlines has massive fleet like a lot of aircrafts on service that KQ which has 32 Aircrafts on Service and less destinations which isn't great for an airline. For KQ, these days, they are striking a lot of pilots which they lose millions of KSH and dollars which can be heavily invested on flights nor fleet. Ethiopian has the largest fleet in Africa as an International airline which is very successful of them. As they put lower prices, it's a very successful technique as if you sell things cheap, you get a lot of customers which helps you your carrier and build up more until you earn lots of dollars.
Ethiopian Airlines - 16.8 billion USD per year
Kenya Airways - N/A but lost over $145M in 2021
This statistic shows that Ethiopian Airlines makes more revenue than Kenya Airways which makes Ethiopian Airlines successful airline.
SAA's painting is beautiful.
In 2021 Ethiopian airlines annual passengers capacity grew by 22 million after the expansion of the Bole terminal. A new airport worth $5Bn is to be constructed soon. The plan is to increase the yearly capacity to a 100 million passenger
What about net revenue?
@@lake3176 It's still operating without the pandemic related government's handout. In fact the airlines converted 25 of its passengers fleet to cargo and is generating a strong cash flow. No pandemic related lay-offs. So even if I don't have the figures for 2021, I can safely assume it's generating enough revenue to sustain itself in the business. Back in 2018 the airlines had a $3bn net profit. It's a government owned enterprise but there is a plan to privatize it. I think Ethiopian airlines should learn a lesson from Kenya.
I'm hoping South African recover, it's now a majority private company hopefully it will run smoothly now🇿🇦
