Ethiopian Airlines resumes flights to Malaysia as of March 25

Ethiopian Airlines has announced the resumption of its services to Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur as of this coming weekend of March 25.

As the largest airline in Africa, Ethiopian Airlines said the flight will be operated four times a week with the ultramodern B787 Dreamliner.

In a formal announcement of the developments, Group CEO Mesfin Tasew said they are excited and it happens at a convenient time.

“We are excited to bring our Kuala Lumpur flights back to service,” he said per Aviation24.

“The resumption of the flights reopens convenient and seamless travel options between Kuala Lumpur and more than 60 African destinations. 

“Kuala Lumpur is a destination of choice for both business and leisure travellers, and we are proud to provide a convenient travel option that is suitable for passengers traveling for either of the purposes. 

“These flights are also one of the channels easing the diplomatic and socio–economic ties between Malaysia and Africa thus, the resumption of the service plays a significant role in the relationship of the two regions.”

It is also mentioned that the East African airline first commenced its service between Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with a thrice–weekly service back in 2012. 

However, the flight was suspended later in 2021 as it was impacted by the devastating Covid-19 pandemic.
