Ethiopian has been operating into Nigeria since 1960 and has stayed with Nigeria during good and difficult times. When the Abuja airport was closed for repairs, it was the only international airline that flew to the alternative airport in Kaduna.

In a statement, the airline said it was eager to provide its passengers with its traditional world-class service in the most technically advanced aircraft.

“Ethiopian is the first airline to bring the B787 Dreamliner to all the four airports in Nigeria. It was also the first to bring the Airbus A350 to Nigeria.

“Before the Covid19 lockdown Ethiopian airlines operated to four airports in Nigeria. Since the gradual reopening of the airspace in Nigeria, only Lagos and Abuja airports were allowed for international flights,” the airline stated.
