Ethiopian Airlines Launches New Mozambique Route

Ethiopian Airlines has announced the launch of a new route to the Mozambique city of Beira, via Malawi.

The route is expected to launch on September 3 and will run three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Speaking on the plans Ethiopian Airlines’ Southern African Regional Manager Abel Alemu stated, “Supporting our main hub in Maputo, Beira will serve as our hub in central Mozambique directly connecting passengers to our global hub in Addis Ababa for further connections to various parts of the world.”

The announcement follows the launch of a regular flight to JFK Airport in New York via Abidjan in June, taking the airline’s total number of weekly flights between Africa and North America to 24.

The new Beira route will support Ethiopian Mozambique Airline’s domestic services, which already serves eight domestic destinations in the county including the capital Maputo, Nampula, Tete, Pemba, Beira, Nacala, Quelimane, Vilankulos and Chimoio.
