Ethiopian Airlines to begin direct flights to Karachi from May 1st
Ethiopian Airlines is giving final touches
to start direct flights to Pakistan’s port city of Karachi from May 01, 2023.
The resumption of flights takes place
after a hiatus of more than eighteen years.
In past, the Africa’s largest network
operating carrier served Karachi from July 1966 to December 1971, and then
again from June 1993 till July 2004.
Commenting on the resumption of services
to Karachi, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mr. Mesfin Tasew said, “We are excited
to return to Karachi nearly two decades after we last served the city. As the
most populous city in Pakistan, Karachi will be a crucial gateway to Pakistan
and the wider South Asia region.”
With the start of flights, Karachi will become
37th destination of Ethiopian Airlines in Asia. Currently, Ethiopian is running
flights to more than 145 domestic and international passenger and cargo
destinations.
