Green Motion and Ethiopian Airlines signed a strategic partnership announced April 14, 2026.
ShebaMiles members earn 1 mile for every $1 spent on Green Motion rentals in Ethiopia and abroad.
Green Motion Ethiopia says 70% to 80% of its fleet is fully electric, aligning the deal with Ethiopia’s EV transition.
Partnership follows Ethiopia’s 2024 internal combustion engine vehicle import ban, a policy accelerating demand for electric mobility.
ShebaMiles members can also access 10% discounts for Silver and 15% discounts for Gold and Platinum members.
Green Motion operates in over 600 locations across more than 80 countries, extending international relevance of the partnership.
The agreement links aviation loyalty programs with ground transportation, expanding non-flight earning opportunities for travelers.
The report links broader EV ecosystem momentum to financing support from Zemen Bank and Dashen Bank.
Why It Matters?
This signals early integration of aviation, mobility, and loyalty ecosystems in Ethiopia’s transport market. It may support demand growth for EV rental fleets while strengthening commercialization opportunities in travel-linked services. For investors and mobility operators, it suggests new revenue models tied to green transport, tourism, and consumer rewards. It also shows private-sector alignment with Ethiopia’s post-2024 electric mobility policy shift.
