Ethiopian Airlines Launches Six Weekly Flights to Dhaka, Strengthening Africa-Asia Connectivity
Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest carrier, has announced the launch of its new passenger service to Dhaka, Bangladesh, scheduled to begin on November 1, 2024.
This new addition will see six weekly flights operated by the cutting-edge Boeing B787 Dreamliner, promising passengers a seamless and comfortable travel experience between Africa and South Asia.
With this development, Ethiopian Airlines is further consolidating its presence in the South Asian region, offering travelers convenient connections from Bangladesh to a vast network of destinations across Africa and beyond.
The new flights will depart from Addis Ababa at times designed to ensure smooth connections to Dhaka, enhancing the overall travel experience for passengers.
The introduction of this new service between Ethiopia and Bangladesh is expected to have a significant impact on the socio-economic ties between the two nations, with the airline acting as a bridge for increased cooperation in trade, tourism, and cultural exchanges.
Ethiopian Airlines already boasts the widest network in Africa, with over 63 destinations, and this new route to Dhaka strengthens its links to Asia, bringing the two continents closer.
“Bangladesh is a dynamic and growing market, and we are confident that our modern fleet and exceptional service will meet the needs of travelers between our two regions,” remarked Mesfin Tasew, Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines.
He continued, “By deploying our state-of-the-art aircraft on this route, we are not only offering our passengers the comfort they deserve but also fostering stronger ties between Africa and Asia. Our new service to Dhaka is a testament to Ethiopian Airlines’ enduring vision of expanding horizons and creating bridges across continents.”
The airline’s commitment to safety, convenience, and world-class service remains steadfast, making it the preferred choice for travelers across Africa and internationally.
Ethiopian Airlines has consistently expanded its fleet and services to meet the growing demand for air travel, and this latest route marks another milestone in its continued success.
Already offering cargo and logistics services to Dhaka, Ethiopian Airlines is now extending its passenger services, ensuring that travelers from Bangladesh can access its extensive global network, which spans nearly 140 destinations.
Dhaka will join other South Asian cities in Ethiopian Airlines’ portfolio, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, and Karachi.
As Ethiopian Airlines continues to expand its global reach, the new Dhaka service will undoubtedly serve as a catalyst for stronger economic ties and travel between Africa and Asia, marking another chapter in the airline’s impressive growth.
