Africa’s biggest carrier, Ethiopian Airlines Group will resume thrice weekly flight services to Bangui, Central African Republic (CAR) from November 15, 2023.

The airline announced that flights to Bangui will be operated on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. 

Regarding the resumption of flights to the capital city of CAR, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO, Mr. Mesfin Tasew said, “We are excited to add the Central African Republic to our vast African and global network. 

“With the new services, our esteemed customers to and from Bangui, will enjoy our renowned, award-winning services. 

“The flights will have a significant contribution in strengthening the socio-economic activities between Addis Ababa and Bangui and beyond. Now it is not only Addis Ababa that we link Bangui with, but we have connected the Central African Republic (CAR) to our more than 130 international destinations across five continents.

Bangui is not only the capital, but it’s also the largest city of the Central African Republic (CAR), and it serves as an important part of the country. 

Ethiopian Airlines, as can be recalled, has been familiar with the Central African Republic market as it served the route between 2010 and 2015. 

The new connectivity will, therefore, give passengers seamless flight options to more than 150 passenger and cargo international and domestic Ethiopian destinations aboard its more than 140 modern aircraft.
