Keep up the good work EAL. I'm proud of you.
They can even use a lokal terrorist groups to sabotage the growth of EAL.
Egypt Air, Royal Air Maroc and other Arebian Airlines are well suited and better equiped to operate in Africa.

Thanks for your kind word and hard work promoting Tigray/Ethiopia culture.
Belive it or not i had being visiting your page a while back and i love it.
Your facebook I LOVE TIGRAY ,TIGRAIONLINE ,NAZRET.COM & WEDIAGAME ON YOUTUBE are my few favorite ones.
WEDIAGAME on youtube page is one of the true Tigray & ethiopia lover out there.He have being promoting our culture morethan the stupid Tigray culture minister.
Overall we Agazean brave Tigray PEOPLE from the district of AGAME/ADIGRAT have being promoting Tigray/Ethiopia culture as well as defending our country ETHIOPIA from various enemies.
I am not to crazy about Aigaforum.com because of his carelessness when it comes to promoting TIGRAY CULTURE & tigray people interests.Nevertheless Aigaforum effort is apperciated for giving ethiopians voice.
Keep up with your hard work promoting the BEAUTIFUL TIGRAY PEOPLE CULTURE,TRADITIONS,MUSIC AND ANCIENT RELIGIONS & in general Ethiopians.
I love your facebook and keep up with the good work.
Dont forget the heroic Tigray people liberation front was able to defeat all our enemies because of TIGRAY CULTURE,TIGRAY MUSIC,TIGRAY TRADITIONS.
And the Tigray people liberation Front lived,breathed on Tigray people resources for 17 long hard years.
Our culture,traditions are what makes us to be complete humanbeings.
Take care my brother.
What a loser you are!I hope someone teaches you a little bit of moral if you know what it means. It just shows how far you are from civilised blogging.
egypt in ruins: Put your bag of chips away before vomiting, troll. Whose nerves do you think you're ticking off punk? Not Ethiopians no, just fuck off and find and another hobby!

EAL belongs to Ethiopians, are you Ethiopian? TPLF is anti-Ethiopian Shabia servant what does it have to do EAL?
Slow down moron don't get to excited!!
Don't mention the feudal Hail Selassie done nothing but looted the country worthy taking to Swiss banks.
When EPRDF marched Addis ababa,Ethiopian air lines have only seven stinky rotten very very old planes. Once they fall to the hands of northern loins, they started grow and grow and growing keep growing.
We have witnessed that the last 20 years from seven plane to 52 modern very latest planes. Done't forget the most technological advanced plane"The dream liner"
Thanks to the Tegadelity Tigray whom given their precious unrecoverable their life to bring what we see today in Ethiopia.
Thanks our fallen heroes!!
I see you were crying on nazret.com seven years a go and you're now still shitting seven years back.
Genbot seven people when can you lean from your mistakes? if I were you I would jumped to the Golden bridge once and for all end of it!!
Agazity my lovely woman keep on fight.Finally victory is ours as always!
Thank you and have a good night.
Yeha: Stop polluting this thread with your presense. And no you don't have to quote single sentence where I pledge allegiance to G7 or any other opposition body. Talk, talk, talk is all you do, give me some evidence or please disappear as you've for the last couple of monthes. Nobody misses a Goddamned pollutant. Also 7 years ago I was in highschool and have not even heard of nazret yet you moron, I bet you read the hurricane thread hence your math, idiot learn how to read beofre you vomit.
One last point Ethiopia doesn't have sea port so all we have is Airport so make it Freeport just like NY or London airport by make it most attractive may I say don't charge any thing for plane to land... And allow every airline to come in without fear competition late everyone come in just like singapore free sea port that transfer them to super economy.. By expanding our airport alone we make a killing... If we are smart about it.. Million of people use our airport as transit and spend billion to eat and stay in hotel and buy our goods etc etc.
always improving in dumbness. i dont consider this a success but it is a form of success so its sucksess
Just an FYI, it took my parents a whloe two(2) months to finally get a seat to come to the states!!!
It just was a nightmare to book a flight, now they finally woke up and smelt the "Coffee"!!
You better write your opinion in Tigirigna, or go to school and learn how to write English.
Waaay, embuaaa!
How about using money to better peoples life and giving jobs instead of spending billions of dollars to buy military hardware?
What is the use of those military hardware when people have no food to eat?
Is Woyane afraid of Ethiopians and is trying to scare and to kill them?
This is more likely to be the reason but this will not deter Ethiopians or save Woyanes from being thrown out. Time is ticking. tick, tick, tick! Woyane Gone!!!!!
