Addis Ababa – Ethiopian Airlines has announced that it will resume its daily flights to Lalibela, Wollo on January 3, 2022. The airport, which was badly damaged by the retreating TPLF forces, was only opened recently after the Ethiopian defense forces recaptured the city. The most iconic church at Lalibela, Bete Giyorgis is a free-standing monolith carved in the shape of a cross and dedicated to its namesake Saint George. Legend has it that Saint George was so delighted when he saw his church that he rode his horse right over the entrance tunnel, leaving behind hoof prints that are still visible today.
