Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam says the company plans to put Chinese crew members on all flights to China as of next month.
The company already has flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Guangzhou.
The airline is training Chinese crews for its China-bound flights as 90 percent of passengers flying to China don't speak English.
China has invested heavily in major construction projects in Africa.
One of the latest deals involves sub-Saharan Africa's first modern tramway, a $475-million plan largely funded by China Exim Bank.
Because of China's ever-expanding investments across the continent, the Chinese community has grown steadily in Africa, as has the market for flights to and from Asia.
