That plane is on wet lease (meaning short time lease) anytime Ethiopian Airlines get an alternative it could send it back to the owner ,unlike the Dry lease which the Airline did with the two Boeing 777 Cargos it leased from GE Capital Aviation Services for ten years.It painted its Logo and everything.
