Aug 30, 2024

Ethiopian Airlines, Africa's leading carrier, is pleased to announce the commencement of its new six weekly flights to Dhaka, Bangladesh, starting November 1, 2024.

The commencement of Ethiopian Airlines’ new service between Bangladesh and Ethiopia will have a significant contribution to the socio-economic ties of both countries and beyond. It further brings Asia closer to Africa where Ethiopian established the widest network of more than 63 destinations.

“Bangladesh is a dynamic and growing market, and we are confident that our modern fleet and exceptional service will meet the needs of travelers between our two regions,” said Mesfin Tasew, Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines. “By deploying our state-of-the-art aircraft on this route, we are not only offering our passengers the comfort they deserve but also fostering stronger ties between Africa and Asia.” He added, “Our new service to Dhaka is a testament to Ethiopian Airlines' enduring vision of expanding horizons and creating bridges across continents, Ethiopian Airlines is committed to providing its passengers with the highest levels of safety, comfort, and convenience. The airline's modern fleet, experienced crew, and award-winning service have made it the preferred choice for travelers across Africa and beyond.

Ethiopian Airlines is set to expand its vibrant South Asian network by adding Dhaka to its list of destinations, which already includes Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, and Karachi. Ethiopian Airlines has already been providing cargo and logistics services to the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka. With the initiation of passenger services to Dhaka, travelers will benefit from seamless connectivity to Ethiopian Airlines' extensive global network of nearly 140 destinations.
