Africa’s largest airline group, Ethiopian Airlines, is
pleased to announce that it will add Antananarivo, Madagascar to its network as
of 28 March 2017. Madagascar will join the ever expanding Ethiopian network of 95
worldwide destinations.
Antananarivo is the capital and the largest city of
Madagascar. The island nation is known as a “biodiversity hot-spot” as over 90%
of its wildlife is found nowhere else on earth.
Madagascar is home to lush rainforests and is famous for its curious
lemurs.
Ethiopian’s new nonstop flight will operate three times
weekly to and from Ethiopian’s hub at Addis Ababa, where passengers can connect
to and from cities throughout the world, including Washington, London,
Frankfurt, Paris, Rome, Beirut, Jeddah, Cairo, Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Hong Kong,
Shanghai, and Beijing.
Group CEO Ethiopian Airlines, Mr. Tewolde GebreMariam,
said: “Ethiopian, as a flagship carrier of Africa, is pleased to add Madagascar
to its wide route network. Having started serving Africa seven decades ago with
our motto “Bringing Africa Closer”, we are now continually enhancing our
services and working to “Connect Africa to the World”. As air connectivity is
an essential cause and driver of a nation’s socio-economic integration, our new
service will certainly contribute for a growing business and bilateral
cooperation with other sisterly African cities. Moreover, travelers from
Madagascar will be seamlessly connected with Ethiopian ever-expanding network
across five continents. I would like to thank all who made this route
possible.”
Ethiopian is a truly indigenous Pan-African global
carrier that operates the youngest and the most modern fleet in the continent
with an average aircraft age of less than 5 years.
