Ethiopian Airlines is set to launch a new service to Hanoi, Vietnam, with flights scheduled four times a week starting July 10, 2025.
This long-haul expansion will strengthen the airline’s global network, offering travelers a convenient link between Africa and Southeast Asia.
The new route reflects Ethiopian Airlines’ commitment to connecting continents and fostering opportunities for trade, tourism, and cultural exchange.
Increased Southeast Asia Presence
Mr. Mesfin Tasew, Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion. “We’re thrilled to bring our services to Southeast Asia and improve air travel options for customers in this vibrant region,.
“This route to Hanoi will pave the way for deeper connections between Vietnam and our vast global network. We’re eager to introduce our award-winning hospitality to Vietnam while continuing to grow in this promising market.”
Tasew’s words highlight the airline’s dedication to building bridges across borders. The flights will operate from Addis Ababa, Ethiopian Airlines’ main hub. The service to Hanoi will cater to both business professionals and leisure explorers.
This connection will simplify travel for those journeying between Vietnam and destinations across Africa, Europe, and the Americas via Addis Ababa. By linking these regions, Ethiopian Airlines will also boost economic ties, encourage tourism, and promote cultural understanding between Ethiopia and Vietnam.
A Key Player in Asia-Africa Market
This strategic move reinforces Ethiopian Airlines’ position as Africa’s leading airline. With seamless one-stop connections, the new service enhances global accessibility and supports trade and investment between Vietnam and African countries.
It also solidifies the airline’s role as a major player in the Asia-Africa aviation corridor, further strengthening its competitive edge in the international market.
Ethiopian Airlines already serves over 160 passenger and cargo destinations across five continents, making it a vital link between Africa and the world.
Known for its modern fleet, the airline operates advanced aircraft like the Boeing 737, 777, 787, Airbus A350-900, A350-1000, and De Havilland Q400. These planes prioritize passenger comfort and environmental sustainability, aligning with the airline’s forward-thinking approach.
The Hanoi route marks another milestone in the airline’s ongoing expansion. By connecting Africa to Southeast Asia, the airline continues to support wider travel options. With its renowned service and growing network, Ethiopian Airlines is poised to make a lasting impact in this dynamic region.
