Ethiopian looking at opportunities in Central, Southern Africa
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Tewolde Gebremariam said: "We also want to build another hub for Central Africa. We are looking at all of these companies to see if any of them could play a role to that effect. Or, on the contrary, they may be complementary. We have a hub in Malawi for Southern Africa with Malawian Airlines, in which we hold 49%."
Aside from Southern Africa, Ethiopian Airlines is also a technical partner to ASKY Airlines whose Lomé hub offers extensive coverage of Western and Central Africa.
Gebremariam also confirmed previous reports to the effect that Ethiopian has i been approached by the Nigerian government over their proposed new national carrier project. No specific details were disclosed.
