On my birthday, I thanked some of the people who made me Artist Desalegn Hailu. Artist Desalegn Hailu celebrates his birthday in a unique way. Being located in Addis Ababa is not enough to better serve this market. Cooperation and coordination with other African airlines is the best way to stay close to the market. Presence in African countries allows us to stay close to our passengers. This strategy is outlined in the 15-year Vision 2025 Roadmap. That is why we have partner airlines in different countries in Africa with different arrangements. Our first partner was ASKY Airlines in Lomé, Togo. Reestablished ASKY as a commercial civil airline. We are shareholders along with the bank. Operated by Ethiopian Airlines. It’s been 12 years since we bought the airline. ASKY is currently West Africa’s largest airline. She flies to 24 countries. The number of aircraft also increased sharply. It has also recorded good profits in the past two years during the outbreak. So it’s a successful partnership. It also acquired a 49% stake in Lilongwe, a Malawian airline in southern Africa. ET also has management. She has benefited from last year. Most recently, she also established an airline in Zambia in cooperation with the Zambian government. This airline has just taken off. We currently operate two different partnerships in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kinshasa, and Nigeria. We agreed with his 49% while the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo holds the majority stake. We also signed shareholder agreements and other agreements. But it hasn’t started yet. Recently, there have been delays from the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The delay may have been due to certain internal issues that had to be resolved.
