The first aircraft flight in Ethiopia was the
Potez 25
, piloted by Frenchman Andre Millet, which landed just west of
Addis Ababa
from
Djibouti
in 1929.
In 1930, French instructor
Gaston Vidal
created an aviation school in Djidjiga which trained the first pilots and mechanics.
Ethiopia was one of the few African countries present at the Chicago Conference in December 1944 and to participate in the creation of the
International Civil Aviation Organization
.
Ethiopian Airlines
was soon after established in 1945 and operated just 6
DC-3s
.
On 3 December 1996 the
Direction Generale de l'Aviation Civile des Comores
of the
Comoros
agreed to delegate the investigation of
Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961
