"the best-managed airline in Africa"

Kinda like saying, 'the best sushi in Winnepeg.'

In the sixties, when TWA was a power house, a number of their top pilots and operations executives were hired by Ethiopia to set up this airline and have it operate on the US model as opposed to European or Asian standards.

I used this airline several times while I was working in eastern Africa. Without a doubt they were the most professional airline in the region. Compared to Daallo, they were head & shoulders above.

I’ve still got a complimentary blanket they gave me on a flight to Paris. Friendly flight crews and great customer service.

I love the comment on the CNN article....”the African airline most acting like western airlines”. Racist? LOL
