Ethiopian Airlines, Africa's leading carrier, recently announced the commencement of its six new weekly flights to Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, starting November 1. The new service will use the Boeing B787 Dreamliner.

This new route will strengthen Ethiopia's presence in South Asia, providing convenient connections between Bangladesh and key destinations across Africa and beyond.  The flight schedule is as follows:

Ethiopian Airlines’ new service between Bangladesh and Ethiopia will contribute significantly to the socio-economic ties of both countries and beyond. It brings Asia even closer to Africa where Ethiopian Airlines has established the widest network of more than 63 destinations.

“Bangladesh is a dynamic and growing market and we are confident that our modern fleet and exceptional service will meet the needs of travellers between our two regions,” said Mesfin Tasew, Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines.

“By deploying our state-of-the-art aircraft on this route, we are not only offering our passengers the comfort they deserve but also fostering stronger ties between Africa and Asia. Our new service to Dhaka is a testament to Ethiopian Airlines' enduring vision of expanding horizons and creating bridges across continents.”

Adding Dhaka to its list of destinations, which includes Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai and Karachi, expands Ethiopian Airlines’ South Asian network.

Ethiopian Airlines already provides cargo and logistics services to Dhaka. With the new passenger service, travellers will benefit from connectivity to Ethiopian Airlines' extensive global network of nearly 140 destinations.
