Ethiopian Airlines inaugurated a new route between its Addis Ababa base and the Oman capital Muscat on December 27 as it further builds its presence in the Middle East market. The airline is offering a three times weekly service, the first direct link between the two countries, using a Boeing 737-700.
“We are pleased that Ethiopian is starting the service at the time the Arab League Tourism Ministers’ nominate Muscat as ‘Arab Tourism Capital 2012’. The Sultanate offers popular tourist attractions such as the Wadis (valleys), parks, beaches and mountains to be explored and experienced with its timeless traditions,” said Tewolde GebreMariam, Chief Executive Officer, Ethiopian Airlines.
Alongside the point-to-point traffic, Ethiopian Airlines expects to generate additional passengers wishing to fly onto other destinations in Africa and is providing convenient connections to and from cities such as Johannesburg, Nairobi, Lagos, Accra, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Entebbe and Lusaka.
