The commencement of Ethiopian Airlines’ new service between Bangladesh and Ethiopia
will have a significant contribution to the socio-economic ties of both countries and
beyond. It further brings Asia closer to Africa where Ethiopian established the widest
network of more than 63 destinations.

Bangladesh is a dynamic and growing market, and we are confident that our modern fleet and
exceptional service will meet the needs of travelers between our two regions,” said Mesfin Tasew,
Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines. “By deploying our state-of-the-art aircraft on this route, we
are not only offering our passengers the comfort they deserve but also fostering stronger ties
between Africa and Asia.” He added, “Our new service to Dhaka is a testament to Ethiopian
Airlines’ enduring vision of expanding horizons and creating bridges across continents.

Ethiopian Airlines is committed to providing its passengers with the highest levels of
safety, comfort, and convenience. The airline’s modern fleet, experienced crew, and
award-winning service have made it the preferred choice for travelers across Africa and
beyond.

Ethiopian Airlines is set to expand its vibrant South Asian network by adding Dhaka to
its list of destinations, which already includes Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, and
Karachi. Ethiopian Airlines has already been providing cargo and logistics services to the
capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka. With the initiation of passenger services to Dhaka, travelers
will benefit from seamless connectivity to Ethiopian Airlines’ extensive global network
of nearly 140 destinations.
