Ethiopian Airlines arrives in Istanbul
Ethiopian Airlines has finalised all preparations to launch a direct thrice-weekly flight to Istanbul (Turkey) as of today, 1 April 2019. Istanbul is Europe’s largest city and Turkey’s historic, industrial and financial capital, and the relocation operation from Ataturk Airport to the new Istanbul Airport will be carried out during the coming week-end.
Tewolde GebreMariam, group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines: “It gives us great pleasure to launch flights to Istanbul, connecting this city to the over 60 African destinations we serve, through our hub in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia). Since Turkey is 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.” (ah)
