Etihad, Ethiopian Airlines Launch New Flights October 1

Etihad Airways and Ethiopian Airlines have formed a joint venture to enhance connectivity between Ethiopia, the UAE, and beyond. Ethiopian Airlines will start flights from Addis Ababa to Abu Dhabi on July 15, while Etihad will launch daily services to Addis Ababa on October 1. This partnership, which includes a codeshare agreement, aims to simplify travel between the regions by offering more direct flights and reducing layover times. The collaboration is expected to facilitate smoother connections to a wider range of destinations across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Both companies emphasize the benefits to travelers, with Ethiopian Airlines expanding its global reach and Etihad strengthening its network. The initiative is still pending final regulatory approval but marks a significant step in increasing travel options between these two regions.
