Ethiopian adds direct flights to CPT

ETHIOPIAN Airlines is
launching two direct flights
between Cape Town and
Addis Ababa, effective
February 3.
This expansion on the Cape
Town service complements
the seven existing non-direct
flights operating between the
two cities.
The direct flights will
operate on Wednesdays and
Fridays, departing Cape Town
at 14h55 and arriving in
Addis Ababa at 22h10. The
return flight will also operate
on Wednesdays and Fridays,
departing Addis Ababa at
08h30 and arriving in Cape
Town at 13h55.
“This increases the amount
of flights between the cities
from seven to nine. Four
of these flights depart
Cape Town with a stop in
Gaborone, the remaining
three depart Cape Town with
a stop in Johannesburg,”
said Abel Alemu, regional
manager of Ethiopian
Airlines, Southern Africa.
The new service will be
operated using a Boeing 787
Dreamliner.
