Africa’s largest aviation group, Ethiopian Airlines, has resumed direct flights between Addis Ababa and Athens after an 18-year-hiatus, according to ANA.
The Greek capital is the airline’s 20th European destination. “Filled with incredible historical sites, Athens is one of the oldest cities in the world and Europe’s historical capital where democracy was invented,” airline officials announced at an event on Thursday.
Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Tewolde GebreMariam voiced his enthusiasm for the resumption of direct flights to the Greek capital, saying that Athens will serve as a key destination in a continuously expanding European network.
Athens International Airport Communications and Marketing Director Ioanna Papadopoulou said flights commenced on December 13 and the airline will link Athens with the rest of Africa through its expansive network.
