Accordingly, Ethiopian Airlines will operate a total of 28 weekly passenger flights to China when the services are fully restored. 

Revamping frequency

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ethiopian Group, Mesfin Tasew, said: “We are glad that we are ramping up the frequencies of our flights to Chinese cities; thanks to the easing of flight restrictions by the Government of China.

“China is one of the largest markets for Ethiopian Airlines outside Africa, and the increase in flight frequencies will help revive the trade, investment, cultural and bilateral cooperation between Africa and China in the post-Covid era.

“Thanks to our large network across Africa, the increase in the number of flights to Chinese cities will bring Africa and China closer. We are keen to further expand our service to China going forward.”  

In addition to its passenger flights to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu, Ethiopian Airlines is also operating freighter flights to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Zhengzhou, Changsha and Wuhan.
