Ethiopian Airlines has reached a significant milestone, celebrating 50 years since its first flight to Kigali, Rwanda. The Addis Ababa–Kigali route, inaugurated in 1975, has been crucial in enhancing diplomatic, economic, and cultural relationships between Ethiopia and Rwanda.
The Group CEO expressed enthusiasm about the achievement: “We are excited to reach such a milestone. Over 50 years of service to Kigali, we have expanded both our passenger and cargo operations, with increased frequencies for the benefit of our customers. This marks another demonstration of Ethiopian Airlines' commitment to serving the people of Africa.”
Currently, Ethiopian Airlines operates 21 weekly passenger flights and three dedicated cargo services to Kigali. These flights connect passengers to an extensive global network that includes over 145 destinations across five continents via its hub in Addis Ababa.
