About Ethiopian Airlines
Ethiopian Airlines is an airline based in Ethiopia, listed under the ICAO code ETH and the IATA code ET; air traffic control addresses its flights by the callsign "Ethiopian". On this page you can follow Ethiopian Airlines flights and find the airports it serves.
How to read a Ethiopian Airlines flight number
Every Ethiopian Airlines flight number starts with ET, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix ETH, and controllers address it as "Ethiopian". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by Ethiopian Airlines and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.

Frequently asked questions about Ethiopian Airlines
Where is my Ethiopian Airlines flight right now?
Search the flight number (ET plus digits) in the search box on this page. If the aircraft is airborne within receiver coverage, you will see its live status; before departure you will see the route.
Is my Ethiopian Airlines flight delayed or cancelled?
Check the flight number on this page for live status, but for rebooking, gate changes and cancellations the airline itself remains the authoritative source.
What do ET and ETH mean on Ethiopian Airlines flights?
They are two prefixes for the same airline. ET is the IATA code you see on tickets; ETH is the ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control.
Does Ethiopian Airlines operate flights for other airlines?
Codeshare agreements mean a flight sold under another carrier's number may be operated by Ethiopian Airlines, and the reverse. Live tracking always follows the operating carrier's flight number; check the "operated by" line on your booking.
