Ethiopian Airlines to use new Boeing 787 on Toronto-Addis Ababa route

OK,  I know this doesn’t really have anything to do with travel rewards, well actually it can and does. Since Ethiopian is a Star Alliance member you can always use Aeroplan miles to redeem for this flight! Anyways, no airline is serving a Canadian city yet with Boeing’s new state of art 787. Cities in the U.S., Japan, Asia and Europe are seeing or will see regular service soon and according to Airline Route Updates Ethiopian will begin using a 787 as of November 9 between Toronto and Addis Ababa. This is a relatively new route for Ethiopian which just launched earlier this year and is currently served with a Boeing 777-200.  So for all you ‘avgeeks’ out there keep an eye for that plane in YYZ and for those of you who like to use your Aeroplan miles to try a new plane here is your chance.
