Ethiopian airlines' main goal is to connect Africa with its major trading centers such as those in China. In addition to its 46 destinations in Africa, the largest passenger network in the continent, Ethiopian is following a multiple hub strategy to make connections between China and destinations in Africa as smooth and hassle free as possible.

On top of its main hub in Addis Ababa, Ethiopian is enhancing the much needed connectivity between China and Africa through its second hub in Lome, Togo with its partner airline ASKY, which caters to 22 destinations in West Africa.

Ethiopian has also finalized a partnership deal to form a new airline, Malawi Airlines, which will offer enhanced connectivity to destinations in Southern Africa region through its third hub in Lilongwe.

Ethiopian Airlines currently has the youngest and most modern fleet of 61 including the ultra-modern Boeing 787, Boeing 777-200LR and Boeing 777-300ER which are serving destinations in China.

All these are serving passengers between Africa and China with Ethiopian infused African hospitality on board all flights. This service was recently awarded the SKYTRAX World Airline Award for the Best Airline Staff Service in Africa though online votes from millions of passengers.

On top connecting passengers traveling for business between Africa and China, Ethiopian has also enhanced its in house tour offerings which provide various tourism packages to Ethiopia and the rest of Africa.

Ethiopian is now offering passengers packages to introduce the many cultural, historical and natural wonders of Ethiopia, nine of which are registered as UNESCO Heritage Sites. In addition, Ethiopian is also offering packages for sites in East Africa and leisure destinations such as Seychelles.

Ethiopian wishes to thank all its Chinese passengers for their 40 years of loyalty and looks forward to serving you for 40 more years.
