Ethiopian Airlines broadens its horizons with direct flights to Istanbul

Ethiopian Airlines has finalised plans to launch direct flights from Addos Adama Bole International Airport to Istanbul as of April 1.

This marks the airline?s 19th destination in Europe, bringing the number of passenger flights the airline operates to 57 per week.

The flights are expected to run three times a week, departing from Adana Bole on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; and departing from Istanbul Airport on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

With Istanbul regarded as an important industrial and financial hub linking Europe and the Middle East, this route intends to build relations between the two destinations in an effort to improve Ethiopia?s economic status.

?It gives us great pleasure to launch flights to Istanbul, connecting Europe?s largest city to the over 60 African destinations we serve, through our hub Addis Ababa,? remarked Tewolde GebreMariam, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines.

?Turkey being one of the fastest growing countries among the emerging economies, availability of seamless connectivity options will facilitate the channelling of investors and enhance business ties between the two regions."
