The Ethiopian airlines, one of the largest carriers in Africa and one of the world’s fastest growing airlines, has been serving Angola for the past four decades having operated its maiden flight in June 1986.
The airlines in a statement on Thursday said the frequency increment is expected to strengthen the socio-economic activities between Angola and Ethiopian global destinations.
Currently, Ethiopian Airlines operates international passenger and cargo flight services to more than 130 destinations across the globe.
Early last month, the Ethiopian Airlines announced that it will launch a thrice weekly service between Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Maun, Botswana as of June 10, 2024.
Maun will be Ethiopian’s second destination in Botswana after Gaborone, which has been served since 2016.
The new route will provide convenient and seamless connectivity for travelers from Ethiopia and other parts of Africa to the popular tourist destination of Maun, which is the gateway to the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s largest inland deltas.
