Ethiopian To Start Passenger Service To Copenhagen
Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s leading carrier, is set to launch a new passenger flight to Copenhagen, Denmark as of 22nd of May 2023. The new flight will be operated five times a week except on Tuesdays and Sundays.
Regarding the new flight, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mr. Mesfin Tasew commented they are glad to open a new route to Copenhagen, Denmark which will be their 21st destination in Europe. With the launch of the flight, Copenhagen will become a crucial gateway for Ethiopian Airlines in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. The wide network of Ethiopian Airlines across Africa has made it possible for the new flight to enhance the air connectivity between Europe and Africa thereby facilitating trade, tourism, and diplomatic relations between the two regions.
Thomas Woldbye, Chief Executive Officer of Copenhagen Airport, added that for a long time, it has been their desire to improve the connection between Copenhagen and Africa. Therefore, it was really good news that Ethiopian Airlines, who for the last 5 years have been awarded as the best airline in Africa now will start flying to Copenhagen. The airport in Addis Ababa has grown to become one of Africa’s most important Hubs, with onward connections to more than 60 different cities in Africa, thus this new route will be an amazing gateway to the whole continent for Copenhagen. He added that the direct route will create new opportunities for Danish businesses, especially the pharma industry made possible by the state-of-the-art facilities and pharma wing of Ethiopian Cargo and Logistics Services.
Ethiopian Airlines will deploy Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on the route, with 315 seat arrangement.
Ethiopian first started serving Copenhagen in November 1999 but the flight was suspended about four years later.
