Ethiopia has received a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
It is only the second country after Japan to take delivery of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The country's airline, Ethiopian Airlines, will now be the first company in Africa to receive the aircraft.
Addis Ababa's Bole International Airport was packed for the touchdown in a proud moment for the company's workers, many of whom surrounded the plane to take photos.
Ethiopian Airlines has bought 10 of the Boeing flagship aircraft, which are built from lightweight material, rather than aluminium, to save fuel.
Each Dreamliner costs around $200 million.
