Ethiopian Airlines Group has completed the construction of the first new airport terminal which has been hailed for its emphasis on biosecurity and biosafety measures, considering the coronavirus pandemic.

“What makes the new terminal unique is that it’s the first terminal in the world to be completed after Covid-19. It was designed, not re-purposed, with Biosafety and Biosecurity in mind.” said Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde GebreMatiam.

The new terminal also consists of a spacious check-in, immigration, security screening, boarding gates, travelator and panoramic lifts, wide shopping, restaurants, entertainment areas, fully air-conditioned and an ultra-luxurious 5000 square meters lounge.
