Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Ethiopian Airlines announced that it will add Zu\u0308rich to its expanding global network, with thrice weekly flights.<\/p>\n

The first flight from Addis Ababa to Zu\u0308rich will take off on 31 October 2022, operated with the ultra-modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Ethiopian said in a statement today.<\/p>\n

Zu\u0308rich will be Ethiopian Airlines second destination in Switzerland next to Geneva, and its 19th gateway to Europe.<\/p>\n

The city is the financial and industrial center of Switzerland and hosts the headquarters of a number of international organizations including football\u2019s governing body FIFA.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the launch of the new flight, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mesfin Tasew said, \u201cWe are glad to open a new route connecting the financial capital of Switzerland, Zu\u0308rich with over 130 destinations of Ethiopian Airlines via Africa\u2019s political capital, Addis Ababa.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also stated that the new flight will expand Ethiopian presence in Switzerland and Europe at large and provide enhanced air connectivity between Switzerland and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new service will also facilitate diplomatic and socioeconomic relations not only between Ethiopia and Switzerland, but also between Africa and Europe. As a pan-African carrier, we are committed to further expand our global network and connect Africa with the rest of the word better than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, Ethiopian Airlines flies to Geneva three times a week, which will increase to four weekly flights by end of October.<\/p>\n

With the launch of services to Zu\u0308rich, Ethiopian Airlines flights to Switzerland will increase to seven per week.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian Airlines (Ethiopian) is the fastest growing Airline in Africa.<\/p>\n

In its seventy-five plus years of operation, Ethiopian has become one of the continent\u2019s leading carriers, unrivalled in efficiency and operational success.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian commands the lion\u2019s share of the Pan African passenger and cargo network operating the youngest and most modern fleet to more than 130 international passenger and cargo destinations across five continents.<\/p>\n
