Ethiopian Airlines to Launch Chennai Service

Ethiopian Airlines is to begin serving Chennai, its third destination in India. The African national carrier will extend its existing Addis Ababa – Mumbai flight to serve the northern city, located on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal, on a daily basis from May 1.

Ethiopian also flies to New Delhi, a service that up until May 1 continued on to Beijing. From that date the airline will be offering a direct link to Beijing using its new Boeing 777-200LR and the Addis Ababa – New Delhi flight will instead continue to Hangzhou, another brand new destination for the carrier.

Approximately 28,000 O&D passengers travelled between Ethiopia and India in the past year, the majority flying with Ethiopian Airlines, although a notable number also flew with Emirates Airline via Dubai.
