Ethiopian Airlines reveals W15 routes expansion

Ethiopian Airlines has revealed many incremental capacity increases to its IATA W15 medium and long haul operational program as the carrier looks to take advantage of its superior competitive position in the African marketplace especially with its main rival KQ's weakening state of affairs. The main highlights are as follows:

GRU - frequencies increased from 3 to 4 weekly nonstop using a B772LR

MBA - frequencies increased from daily to 10 weekly 

COO - all flights to be operated as nonstop terminator services using a B738 three times per week. This means that the 5th freedom sector COO-ABJ is henceforth suspended!

KRT - frequencies reduced from 4 to 3 daily nonstop

MPO - capacity increased from daily B738 to daily B787


EBB - frequencies increased from double to triple daily using a B738

LFW - all flights to be operated as nonstop terminator services using a B738 six times per week. This means that the 5th freedom sector LFW-ABJ is henceforth suspended!
