Ethiopian to Resume Direct Flights to CAR’s Capital Bangui

ADDIS ABABA – Ethiopian Airlines will resume its direct passenger flight to Bangui, Central African Republic (CAR) in November, its top official announced on Friday.

The national fag carrier will begin the thrice-weekly flight services to Bangui as of November 15, 2023.

Bangui is not only the capital, but it’s also the largest city of the Central African Republic.

“We are excited to add the Central African Republic to our vast African and global network,” Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mesfin Tasew announces today.

“With the new services, our esteemed customers to and from Bangui will enjoy our renowned, award-winning services,” he says.

The flight to Bangui will be operated on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

“With this travel option, Bangui will have a great opportunity to bolster its bilateral ties with the rest of the world,” Mesfin says. “As a true pan Africa carrier, Ethiopian will continue to expand its flights in Africa.”

The Airlines previously served the CAR route for at least four years before its interruption in 2015.

The commencement of the flight will give passengers flight options to more than 150 passenger and cargo international and domestic Ethiopian destinations.
