===Transport=== {{main|Transport in Ethiopia}} Prior to the outbreak of the 1998–2000 [[Eritrean–Ethiopian War]], landlocked Ethiopia mainly relied on the seaports of [[Asseb]] and [[Massawa]] in [[Eritrea]] for international trade. {{Multiple image | image1 = ET-ALP - Boeing 767-360(ER) - Ethiopian Airlines - VGHS.jpg | caption1 = [[Ethiopian Airlines]] is the largest airline in Africa, and one of the highest grossing airlines in the world with a revenue over 5 billion USD. | image2 = Ethiopian Commercial Bank Addis Abeba.jpg | caption2 = The largest bank in Ethiopia, the commercial bank's former headquarters in Addis Ababa, now serving as one of the other head offices. | total_width = 340 }} {{As of|2005}}, Ethiopia uses the ports of [[Djibouti]], connected to [[Addis Ababa]] by the [[Rail transport in Ethiopia|Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway]], and to a lesser extent [[Port Sudan]] in [[Sudan]]. In May 2005, the Ethiopian government began negotiations to use the port of [[Berbera]] in [[Somaliland]]. By 2030, the government expects a $74 billion investment in transportation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trade.gov/market-intelligence/ethiopia-transport-sector|title=Ethiopia Transport Sector|date=30 June 2022 |agency=International Trade Administration|access-date=30 June 2022}}</ref> ==== Road ==== As of 2016, there are {{Convert|113066|km|mi}} all-weather roads.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.export.gov/article?id=Ethiopia-Road-and-Railways|title=Ethiopia - Road and Railways|date=21 June 2017|website=export.gov|access-date=9 March 2018|archive-date=10 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180310010239/https://www.export.gov/article?id=Ethiopia-Road-and-Railways|url-status=dead}}</ref> ==== Air ==== [[Ethiopian Airlines]] is Africa's largest and most profitable airline.<ref name="Ethiopian Airlines 2015 outlook: more rapid expansion as it becomes Africa’s largest airline">{{cite news|title=Ethiopian Airlines 2015 outlook: more rapid expansion as it becomes Africa's largest airline |work=CAPA Centre for Aviation |date=13 January 2015 |url=http://centreforaviation.com/analysis/ethiopian-airlines-2015-outlook-more-rapid-expansion-as-it-becomes-africas-largest-airline-204559 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20170111040219/https://centreforaviation.com/analysis/ethiopian-airlines-2015-outlook-more-rapid-expansion-as-it-becomes-africas-largest-airline-204559|archive-date=11 January 2017}}</ref> It serves 132 destinations with a fleet of 141 aircraft. ==== Rail ==== The Ethiopian railway network has been rapidly expanding.

Presently, two other electric railways are under construction: [[Awash–Weldiya Railway|Awash-Woldiya]] and [[Weldiya–Mekelle Railway|Woldiya-Mekelle]].
