By Addis Insight January 14, 2023

Ethiopian Airlines announced today that it will be increasing its flights to Mekelle from once a day to three times a day, in order to better serve passengers traveling to and from the city.

“We are committed to providing our passengers with the best possible service and we believe that increasing the frequency of our flights to Mekelle will do just that,” said a spokesperson for the airline. “We would like to assure our passengers that rumors of daily flight cancellations are false and that we are operating normally.”

Passengers can purchase tickets for flights from Addis Ababa to Mekelle through the airline’s booking center and ticket offices, and those traveling from Mekelle can purchase tickets at the Mekelle Airport Sales Office. The airline has also announced that it has not increased ticket prices on domestic flights, except for Mekelle, for the past eight months.

In addition, Ethiopian Airlines has also denounced the recent allegations that it is restricting passengers from traveling based on their age. The airlines has stated that it does not have any policy of age restriction and welcomes all passengers who meet the travel requirements.
