In the morning of the 16 October 2025, BAG were delighted to be part of the DBT Ethiopia roundtable “Bishoftu Airport: Contractor Opportunities” at the Dar offices in Holborn where we met the senior leadership team of Ethiopian Airlines Group. This session explored opportunities for UK businesses in Ethiopia’s ambitious new Bishoftu Airport project, a $7.8 billion development led by Ethiopian Airlines to address congestion at Bole International Airport and position Ethiopia as a major aviation hub in Africa. The roundtable provided updates on the design and procurement plans and brought together UK companies focused on Ethiopia and Africa to discuss broader export potential. The agenda included presentations from Ethiopian Airlines, DAR, and KPMG/AfDB.
