Ethiopian Airlines plans to expand operations in India

Betting big on India's booming aviation market which has outperformed the US and China in terms of domestic passengers traffic growth, Ethiopian Airlines plans to expand its operations in India with new flights and aircraft upgrade. The carrier currently operates a daily double service to New Delhi and Mumbai from Addis Ababa. It also operates freighter services to Chennai, Bengaluru, New Delhi and Mumbai. The airline is currently in talks with the DGCA in this regard, Ethiopian's CE Tewolde Gebremariam said. "We are looking forward to launch flight operations to Chennai from Ethiopia," Gebremariam said without specifying a timeline for commencement of the proposed new fight. Ethiopian is already operating 14 flights per week to Delhi and Mumbai each, he added. <br/>
