Ethiopian Airlines is set to launch a new passenger flight to Copenhagen, Denmark on 22nd of May 2023. The new flight will be operated five times a week except on Tuesdays and Sundays.
Regarding the new flight, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mr Mesfin Tasew said, “We are glad to open a new route to Copenhagen, Denmark which will be our 21st destination in Europe. With the launch of the flight, Copenhagen will become a crucial gateway for Ethiopian Airlines in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. Thanks to the wide network of Ethiopian Airlines across Africa, the new flight will enhance the air connectivity between Europe and Africa thereby facilitating trade, tourism, and diplomatic relations between the two regions.”
Thomas Woldbye, Chief Executive Officer of Copenhagen Airport, said, “It has for a long time been our desire to improve the connection between Copenhagen and Africa. Therefore, it is really good news, that Ethiopian Airlines, who for the last 5 years have been awarded as the best airline in Africa, now will start flying to Copenhagen.
The airport in Addis Ababa has grown to become one of Africa’s most important HUBs, with onward connections to more than 60 different cities in Africa, thus this new route will be an amazing gateway to the whole continent for Copenhagen.”
Ethiopian Airlines will deploy Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on the route, with 315 seat arrangement.
Ethiopian first started serving Copenhagen in November 1999 but the flight was suspended about four years later.
