Ethiopian Airlines has launched its first flights to South America.
On 1 July 2013, the African carrier commenced services from Addis Ababa to the Brazilian cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, using its Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Flights will operate three times a week via Lomé, the capital of Togo.
“We are very pleased to announce to our customers that Ethiopian is spreading its wings to South America. The China-India-Africa-Brazil trade lane is the fastest growing in the world.
“Our new Brazil flights will provide efficient connections with 28 weekly flights to four destinations in China, 14 weekly flights to the two major cities in India, daily flights to Lebanon, five weekly flights to Tel Aviv and almost daily flights to 45 cities across Africa. The various communities throughout the world with strong ties to Brazil will be able to enjoy smooth and convenient connections,” said Ethiopian’s CEO, Tewolde Gebremariam.
The addition of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro will bring Ethiopian’s total network to 75 destinations on five continents. The Brazil service also follows the recent launch of B787 Dreamliner services to the Korean capital, Seoul.
