Many thanks.
Sorry for not being more clear. A KQ award would be a SkyTeam award through Kenya Airways. This would require you to route through Nairobi, which may or may not be possible on a US-originating ticket; you would have to check the routing rules.

Kenya Airways and KLM are the only two SkyTeam partners that fly to Addis Ababa, so availability will need to come from one of those two carriers.

Also, welcome to flyertalk!
