Ethiopian Airlines' inaugural Dhaka flight tomorrow

Ethiopian Airlines, Africa's largest airline and a member of the Star Alliance, is set to officially enter the Bangladeshi market with the arrival of its inaugural flight on the new Addis Ababa-Dhaka-Addis Ababa route on Sunday.

The launch of this route will significantly enhance Bangladesh's connectivity with Africa and beyond, aligning with Ethiopian Airlines' mission to "Connect Continents, Cultures, and Communities", reports UNB.

The airline will operate five flights weekly, providing travellers from Bangladesh with convenient access to over 155 destinations worldwide, including major cities across Africa, Europe, North America, and other regions.

The inaugural flight, ET 678, will be operated by a state-of-the-art Boeing Dreamliner 787-9, scheduled to arrive at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) at 8:30 am on November 3, with a return flight departure to Addis Ababa at 9:40 am the same day.

Regular flights on this route will depart Dhaka in the mornings on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with additional evening departures on Mondays and Fridays.
