South Sudan partners with Ethiopian Airlines for national carrier

Ethiopian Airlines and the South Sudanese government have included plans to establish a national carrier for South Sudan, moving forward with a 2023 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This new collaboration will boost South Sudan’s air connectivity, economic integration and job creation helping South Sudan move forward in its post-conflict development. Additionally, the official agreement took place on November 7, 2024, with Ethiopian Ambassador Nabil Mahdi and South Sudan’s Transport Minister Madut Biar. This partnership gives Ethiopian Airlines a management deal to establish and operate the Vision 2025 plan towards long-sought flights.<br/>
