The results of descriptive analysis indicate that Ethiopian Airlines is a successful enterprise. This is mainly because the airline is a profitable, with a culture of continuous improvement, paramount productivity growth, higher market share etc. In this regard, several factors have contributed for the success of the airline: its working standard, overall system, dedication of workforce, safety trend, best practice, current and recurrent trainings, formation history, state art technology, autonomous management, its market strategy, visionary leadership style etc. Similarly, the results of econometric analysis reveal that the major determinants for the growth/success of Ethiopian Airlines are physical capital accumulation and human capital creation.
