IN its endeavour to match the increasing number of passengers, Ethiopian Airlines has signed an agreement with Atlasjet Airlines based in Turkey to lease B757-200 aircraft.

The deal was effected on September 13, according to the Ethiopian Airlines newsletter. It said the B757-200 with registration number TC-OGT was manufactured in July 2000.
This 200-seater all economy aircraft will operate mainly in the Accra, Harare, Lusaka, Lilongwe, Kinshasa, Brazzaville, and Johannesburg routes.
