A direct flight option for travelers from Denver to Ethiopia may only be just a few months away after Mayor Michael Hancock and a crew of city business leaders traveled to the country this month to lobby for it. Hancock says the city has been working on a direct flight from Denver International Airport to Africa for years. Mayor Michael Hancock/Egypt leaders"Landing these two flights also means tens of millions of dollars of economic impact," Hancock said. She says because Denver business leaders from Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Tigray attended the trip with Hancock, their presence also demonstrated important cultural unity at a time when Ethiopia has faced years of civil war. The mayor says an official announcement on exactly when these direct flights to Ethiopia or Egypt will be available should be coming within the next few months.
