The nation's current hub, Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, served nearly 20 million passengers last year, with consistent annual growth rates of 10-15%, noted Mesfin Tassew, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines Group during the presentation of the project.
The new airport will alleviate this pressure and expand Ethiopia's reach to 145 destinations worldwide, Tassew added.
The hub is set to become one of the largest in Africa, with the capacity to serve 100 million passengers per year.
