Ethiopian Airlines have plans to increase their fleet from the current 121 aircraft to over 200. The airline's CEO Tewolde Gebremariam said the airport will be bigger than Dubai Airport but similar to the new Istanbul Airport (IST).

Ethiopian Airlines has been the strongest performing airline in Africa. In 2019, the airline had $260 million operating profit with a 6.5% margin, which makes them the most profitable airlines in Africa.

The current airport that the airline is based has its new terminal opened in enero 2019 with a capacity of 22 million passengers per year. However, with the airline's plan for 2050, they decided a new airport is needed for its expansion.
