The Addis Ababa-based carrier has detailed plans to add a new 3X-weekly Boeing 737 service to Doha from Dec. 2, marking its tenth Middle East destination.
“We are very pleased to spread our wings to Doha, one of the most vibrant and fastest growing economic hubs in the Middle East. The new flights to Doha will offer better connectivity and more convenient mobility between the State of Qatar and the continent of Africa,” said Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam.
This will be followed by a new 3X-weekly Los Angeles link, operated using fifth freedom rights via Dublin, beginning June 20. Ethiopian plans to deploy one of its Boeing 787s on the service.
Several high-tech firms have offices in Ireland—including Google and Apple—and Los Angeles has a large Ethiopian community. Ethiopian is also hoping to attract Irish leisure travelers on the LA service.
Los Angeles will become Ethiopian’s fifth Americas destination, joining Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Toronto and Washington DC. Dublin is Ethiopian’s tenth European service; it already flies to Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Milan, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Stockholm and Vienna.
The new additions take Ethiopian to a total of 85 destinations across five continents, as well as 49 services within Africa.
