Prof. Dr. Wolfgang H. Thome - eTN Africa Jan 17, 2017Over the next six months, Ethiopian Airlines will add seven new destinations in what will make 2017 probably a record year of new cities served out of Addis Ababa. From the beginning of February to the end of June will Ethiopian launch new services to Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe), Antananarivo (Madagascar), Conakry (Guinea), Oslo (Norway), Chengdu (China), Jakarta (Indonesia) and Singapore (Singapore). With the addition of these stations, Ethiopian will have service from Addis Ababa to 98 different international cities across the world. Said Tewolde Gebremariam, CEO of the airline group: 'Africa’s share of the Global Aviation is the smallest which is only around 3%.
