A plane carrying Eritrean transport and tourism ministers and other officials landed at the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, today after two decades.
Upon arrival at Bole, Ethiopia’s State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hirut Zemene and other senior Ethiopian officials, welcomed the delegation.
“The new route will expand existing regional flights of the Airline to Cairo, Khartoum, Jeddah and Dubai while offering passengers competitive price and quality service,” said Yemane G. Meskel, Eritrea’s Minister of Information.
Ethiopian Airlines conducted the first direct flights between Addis Ababa and Asmara two weeks ago carrying 465 passengers.
