A typical post picks up 100 interactions against 871K followers, an engagement rate of 0.011%. Measured over 49 original posts, its engagement rate beats 36% of 3,882 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 0.915% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.25% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 49 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 47% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 272 interactions, about 2.7x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #flyethiopian, #ethiopianairlines, #windowviewwednesday.

Compared with accounts its own size

Ethiopian Airlines's engagement rate beats 36% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 48% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.011%, Ethiopian Airlines sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,582 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,409 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

What is Ethiopian Airlines's engagement rate on X?
Ethiopian Airlines (@flyethiopian) has an engagement rate of 0.011%, based on the median interactions across 49 original posts from the last 30 days against 870,613 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.011%, Ethiopian Airlines sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @flyethiopian have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 36% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @flyethiopian post?
Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.63 posts per day across the measured window.
