The registration ET-AYB and large A350 titles below the cockpit windows confirm the identification as a relatively new addition to Ethiopian's fleet.

This aircraft, ET-AYK, carries the 'Land of Origins' motif, representing Ethiopia’s branding campaign. The A350-900 is a key part of Ethiopian's ambitious long-haul expansion.

You can see the landing gear smoke as the aircraft makes contact with the runway.
