Ethiopian Airlines, Africa's largest airline and a Star Alliance member, is set to make its official entry into Bangladesh with the arrival of its inaugural flight on the new Addis Ababa-Dhaka-Addis Ababa route on next Sunday.
 
The airline will operate five direct flights weekly, offering travellers from Bangladesh convenient access to over 155 destinations worldwide, including all key cities across Africa, Europe, North America, and beyond, said a press release today (November 1).
 
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) from Addis-Ababa at 8:30 am on November 3, with a return 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.
 
The launch of this route will significantly enhance Bangladesh's connectivity with Africa and the world, aligning with Ethiopian Airlines' mission to "Connect Continents, Cultures, and Communities," said the release.
