Ethiopian Airlines has announced that it will directly fly to the Guinean capital, Conakry from Addis Ababa in the next two months.
“For the first time, flights will operate non-stop to/from Addis Ababa and extend to the West African capital Conakry,” the Ethiopian airlines said Saturday in a statement.
It said at least the airlines will fly thrice weekly nonstop flights to Conakry with the 787-8 Dreamliner in the next two months.
Due to the length of haul, travel time is estimated around 9 hrs 5 mins, the flights will arrive in Guinea in the afternoon and leave the next day in the morning.
The current rehabilitation of regional airports seems to be a prelude to a revival of air traffic in Guinea.
Flights to the capital are back after last seeing Ethiopian in 2010.
This means Ethiopian Airlines flights will no longer stop in Ouagadougou but switch to Monrovia instead.
The Star Alliance carrier flies to over 50 African cities.
