Bangui is not only the capital, but it’s also the largest city of the Central African Republic.
“We are excited to add the Central African Republic to our vast African and global network,” Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mesfin Tasew announces today.
“With the new services, our esteemed customers to and from Bangui will enjoy our renowned, award-winning services,” he says.
The flight to Bangui will be operated on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
“With this travel option, Bangui will have a great opportunity to bolster its bilateral ties with the rest of the world,” Mesfin says. “As a true pan Africa carrier, Ethiopian will continue to expand its flights in Africa.”
The Airlines previously served the CAR route for at least four years before its interruption in 2015.
