Ethiopian Airlines has announced the launch of a new passenger flight to Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, set to commence on June 1, 2025. The announcement was made via an X post on April 8.
Sharjah, recognized as the Cultural Capital of the Arab World by UNESCO in 1998, has evolved into a global hub for contemporary art and design. The emirate hosts significant events such as the Sharjah Art Biennial and the Sharjah Architecture Triennial, which promote public engagement and reflection on regional traditions. These initiatives have solidified Sharjah's status in the international art scene, attracting artists and visitors worldwide.
In November 2024, Ethiopian Airlines took delivery of its first Airbus A350-1000, becoming the first African carrier to operate this aircraft model. According to Ethiopian Airlines, the A350-1000 is designed to enhance premium services on key destinations including Washington D.C., London, Paris, and Frankfurt. This addition aligns with the airline's strategy to expand its long-haul capabilities and improve passenger experience.
