Ethiopian Airlines seeks to ease inter-Africa travel
As international travel to the African continent blossoms (visitation was up 6.5% in 2017), a number of carriers are increasing or expanding international service to their African hubs. While getting to the continent may be easier than ever, moving around Africa often times remains a challenge. Ethiopian Airlines, however, is seeking to alleviate some of that pain. The airline has announced it is looking to establish new hub airports in southern Africa, Central Africa and the Horn, in order to better connect neighbouring countries. “We are working with Malawi and Zambia as southern Africa hubs,” said Tewolde Gebremariam, the CE of Ethiopian Airlines Group. “Another hub would be in central Africa, covering the Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo Brazzaville and Chad. We are also in talks with neighbouring Djibouti.” <br/>
