Passengers who bought a ticket more than a week ago are not allowed on board the Addis Ababa bound flight. Hafay Gebre, who is 50, said he traveled to Mekelle about ten days ago when the flight resumed and now is not allowed to return to Addis Ababa. Unclear to him whether it is the authorities in Tigray or the Federal government that introduced the restriction. The restriction does not seem to have anything to do with security arrangements in Addis Ababa. Last month, Ethiopian Airlines resumed flights to Mekelle and other major towns in the Tigray region after nearly two years.
