Ethiopian Airlines has launched a new passenger service to Port Sudan, a key city on the Red Sea in the Republic of Sudan. The inaugural flight took off from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport after a ceremony attended by delegates from Sudan and Ethiopian Airlines executives.

This new route is part of Ethiopian Airlines' efforts to enhance connectivity across Africa, promoting regional economic growth and boosting trade and tourism. "We keep growing our network in Africa to provide seamless air connectivity while fostering commerce and tourism within the continent and beyond," said Mr. Mesfin Tasew, Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines. "With the launch of this flight today, we are opening a new chapter of connectivity in East Africa and the entire continent."

Port Sudan becomes Ethiopian Airlines' second destination in Sudan, alongside Khartoum. The airline will offer daily services to Port Sudan, connecting it with over 139 destinations worldwide.
