Mrs. Senait Ataklet 

 Mrs. Senait Ataklet is now the new Traffic and Sales Manager for Ethiopian Airlines in Abuja – Nigeria, a development which comes as no surprise as the airline is known for empowering women. She is the second woman to hold the position.

Mrs. Senait holds a B.Sc in Management Information Systems, and specializes in Customer Services and Sales. She began her career at Ethiopian in 2002, and has worked her way up the corporate ladder by serving and proving herself in various positions at the airline.

Before her redeployment to Abuja, Mrs. Senait piloted the airline’s Holiday Product Development team in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and has shown expertise in handling the sales of inbound and outbound trip packages for various clients to new and already existing destinations served by the airline.

According to sources, the new sales Manager has a vision, which is to “connect Africa to the world” – a vision she looks forward to implementing in her new position, and thus contribute to the development of African nations.

Aside from being the biggest and most profitable airline in Africa, Ethiopian Airlines has been flying to Nigeria since 1960, and it was the first airline to bring the B787 Dreamliner and A350 to Abuja.
