Ethiopian Airlines will commence flights to Beira, a city in central
Mozambique, with three services per week. Earlier, the service was expected to
begin in July.
Beira is the fourth largest and one of the main commercial cities in
Mozambique and will serve as a gateway to most of the countries in Central
Africa with potential tourist attractions.
Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, Tewolde GebreMariam, said, “Covering
the largest network in Africa and connecting major world trading cities across
our global network, we have been filling the connectivity vacuum in the
continent not only with primary cities in countries but also with secondary and
tertiary cities and towns. Our customers in these smaller cities will get
special opportunity to connect to our global network of more than 120
international destinations in five continents with direct flights and fewer
stops. Supporting our main hub in Maputo, Beira will serve as our hub in
central Mozambique directly connecting passengers to our global hub in Addis
Ababa for further connections to various parts of the world.”Based in Maputo,
Ethiopian Mozambique Airlines presently serves domestic destinations in
Mozambique such as Maputo, Nampula, Tete, Pemba, Beira, Nacala, Quelimane,
Vilankulos, and Chimoio.
Ethiopian Mozambique Airlines has begun operating on
December 1, 2018, using Q400 aircraft. The launch of this direct international
flight to and from Beira and Addis Ababa will enable international passengers
from Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia to enjoy seamless
connections to and from Pemba, Nampula, Nacala and Tete with Ethiopian
Mozambique Airlines’ domestic service, reaching some of Mozambique’s main
seaside tourist resorts.
The route will be served with a B737-800NG offering a two-class layout
of business and economy.
