Ethiopia’s national carrier – Ethiopian Airlines revealed that they have commenced Cargo and Logistics flight services to the provinces of Bangkok, Thailand and Hanoi in Vietnam as of 16th August 2019. The Airlines will operate flights once a week to these destinations.
Commenting about the new service, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO, Mr Tewolde GebreMariam, remarked, “Our new cargo service to Bangkok and Hanoi will supplement the daily belly-hold cargo capacity on passenger aircraft and will create better connectivity for cargo transport not just between Ethiopia and Thailand and Vietnam but also to over 60 destinations we serve in Africa. The commencement of these flights makes Ethiopian the first African carrier to operate cargo flights from Bangkok, and will also create a better opportunity for Thai and Vietnamese exporters to have one-stop access to the 60 plus African destinations Ethiopian serves. The freighter flight will also link Bangkok and Hanoi to Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas.”
