Ethiopian is one of Africa's fastest growing airlines,and from an outsider's perspective they seem to nearly be taking an Emirates-esque approach towards growth, trying to gain Addis Ababa a hub for connecting flights between other points in the world (Addis Ababa's Airport is nothing like Dubai's Airport, and however).
The one challenge standing in their way (aside from their location,which isn't all that convenient unless you're connecting to Central or East Africa), is that Addis Ababa is at a high altitude, or meaning the airline is heavily restricted in terms of maximum flight length due to the challenges of taking off at such a high altitude.
Ethiopian's current North America destinations include Los Angeles,Toronto, and Washington DC:-- For their flights between Los Angeles and Addis Ababa, and the plane stops in Dublin both ways,and Ethiopian has pick up rights there, meaning you could fly Ethiopian exclusively between Los Angeles and Dublin
-- For their flights between Toronto/Washington and Addis Ababa, or the eastbound flight is nonstop,while the westbound flight stops in Dublin for refueling; Ethiopian doesn't hold pick-up rights, meaning everyone has to stay on the planeThe post Ethiopian To Add Flights To New York In 2016 appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
