-

Africa’s largest airline group, Ethiopian Airlines, has announced that it has finalised preparatio­ns to launch flights to three new destinatio­ns – Victoria Falls, Oslo and Antananari­vo – within three days, 26-28 March 2017. Heralding the launch of three new destinatio­ns in three days, Group CEO Mr. Tewolde GebreMaria­m said, “Three new flights to three new destinatio­ns in just three days is one of the greatest expansions in Ethiopian’s long and illustriou­s history. We are proud that we are able to link these new stations to the Ethiopian network in such a short period of time. As of 28 March, our vast global network will add three new destinatio­ns which will further strengthen our leadership in the continent in connecting more cities in Africa to more cities in the world than any other airline; like 28 weekly flights to 4 destinatio­ns in China, 20 weekly flights to The Americas, 72 weekly flights to Asia, 65 weekly flights to Middle East, 400 weekly flights to 53 cities across Africa and almost daily 54 flights to Europe.

“This is only possible due to the continued support and dedication of the thousands of Ethiopian Airlines’ employees who strive for the best service, best safety, and best on time performanc­e every day and the great vote of confidence that we are enjoying every day from our valued customers.” Victoria Falls, Oslo and Antananari­vo are three of the seven new destinatio­ns to be launched during the first six months of 2017. Ethiopian started flights to Conakry in February 2017. Before July, Ethiopian will start service to three destinatio­ns in Asia: Chengdu, Singapore and Jakarta. Ethiopian envisages reaching 120 internatio­nal destinatio­ns worldwide by the year 2025.
