@mbrews - really more politically stable than Nairobi and Joburg?
First, I have not visited any recently. Suffice to say, Boeing made a choice of an African continent HQ. I don’t know details of the decision. But I do know - Ethiopian is a major operator of Boeing wide bodies. Both Passenger and freighter types. Which likely influenced the decision about location

Boeing bashing is fashionable, and I have my own gripes about the MAX debacles.

Perhaps a lesson has been learned - for Boeing to improve capacity for pilot and maintenance training in an important market region.

Sensible choice. Centrally located, and more politically stable than Joberg or Nairobi. Just IMO. As many know, Ethiopian Air is a major customer of Boeing wide bodies.
