Is this a war between Skyteam and Star Alliance, initiated by Skyteam member Kenya Airways against Star Alliance member Ethiopian Airlines? In response, the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority “fully and categorically rejects statements” circulated in a communiqué by Kenya Aviation Safety officials dated August 30. The Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority “fully and categorically” rejected what they call “false and baseless statement”, by Kenya. To date, the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority has not received any complaint by any airline operating to/from Ethiopia or overflying the Ethiopian airspace. The Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority will also like to inform the public that it is working in close collaboration with its good neighbor and partner, the Kenyan Civil Aviation Authority, on cross-border flight coordination.
