Join the world of Cloud 9 – Ethiopian Airlines Business Class

Discover a Higher Level of Comfort with Cloud 9

Ethiopian Airlines invites you to the world of Cloud 9 – a business class created for the most discerning travelers. The highest level of comfort begins the moment you arrive at the airport and continues throughout your flight. Travelers can expect priority services, spacious cabins, exquisite cuisine, and numerous amenities that make every Cloud 9 journey a unique experience.

Priority Service and a Warm Welcome On Board

Travelers who choose Cloud 9 have access to the C9 Lounge, where they can relax before their flight. The lounge offers a relaxation area, showers, a buffet, and dedicated workspaces. Thanks to priority check-in and security, Cloud 9 passengers are among the first to board. The cabin crew welcomes them with the traditional Ethiopian greeting “Tenaystiligne” and a welcome drink.

Cloud 9 on Short-Haul Flights

On regional routes, Ethiopian Airlines offers comfort perfectly suited for shorter trips. Travelers enjoy comfortable seats with generous legroom, a wide selection of dishes prepared by experienced chefs, and beverages including Ethiopian wines and premium spirits. Business Class passengers on wide-body aircraft also have access to complimentary Wi-Fi on board. Vouchers for the service are provided by the cabin crew.

Despite the short flight time, passengers can expect a high standard of service that highlights the exceptional character of the Cloud 9 product.

Cloud 9 on Medium- and Long-Haul Routes

On longer routes, Cloud 9 reveals its full potential. Cabins on the Boeing 777, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and Airbus A350 are designed to ensure maximum comfort during long journeys. The seats offer full adjustability—from a relaxed sitting position to a fully flat bed—allowing passengers to rest naturally and sleep comfortably.

Cloud 9 is synonymous with elegance, hospitality, and service that makes you feel truly special—whether the journey is short or intercontinental.

Exquisite Dining Options

The Cloud 9 culinary experience blends elegance, quality, and tradition. The onboard service includes a wide selection of international dishes enhanced with authentic Ethiopian flavors. Travelers can enjoy carefully prepared appetizers, healthy local ingredients, and a rich selection of cheeses, seasonal fruits, and desserts.

Meals are served on fully set tables, creating the ambience of a fine restaurant at over 10,000 meters. A curated wine list—featuring top Ethiopian wines—perfectly complements the experience.

Premium In-Flight Entertainment

To make the time onboard enjoyable, Ethiopian Airlines offers an extensive entertainment program:

Hollywood and international films
popular TV series and shows
music, albums, and playlists
games and educational programs

On selected aircraft, wireless streaming is also available, allowing passengers to enjoy entertainment on their own devices—phones, tablets, or laptops.

Baggage Allowance – Convenience Without Compromise

Ethiopian Airlines offers one of the most generous baggage allowances in its class. In Business Class, passengers may bring 2 pieces of carry-on baggage measuring 23 × 40 × 55 cm, each weighing up to 7 kg. For checked baggage, each item must meet the size requirements, with the total dimensions (height + width + depth, including wheels and handles) not exceeding 158 cm. Depending on the route, Business Class travelers are entitled to 1 or 2 pieces of checked baggage weighing 32 kg each.
