Ethiopian Airlines is preparing to extend its schedule at Manchester airport.

Ethiopian will operate the route using an Airbus A350

The carrier will shortly offer an additional Addis Ababa frequency, growing its service to five flights a week.

Starting Monday (5 June), the route will increase to five-times-weekly.

Ethiopian will operate the route on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, via Geneva, using an Airbus A350 aircraft.

More than 60 onward connections are available from Ethiopian Airlines’ hub in the country’s capital.

Henock Woubishet, Ethiopian’s area manager UK and Ireland, said the expanded service came in response to growing demand from people in the north for travel to sub-Saharan Africa.

Timothy Bettney, Ethiopian’s traffic and sales manager, added this demand was coming from both leisure and corporate travellers.

Flights depart Manchester at 6.30pm, arriving Geneva at 9.15pm before departing for Addis Ababa at 10.15pm, arriving 5.55am (+1).
