Adds New Evening Service from Abuja Starting October 28

Ethiopian Airlines is ramping up its Nigeria operations with three additional weekly evening flights from Abuja, bringing its total to 33 weekly flights across the country. The new schedule begins October 28, 2025, and will increase Abuja services to 10 flights per week.

According to Firiehiwot Mekonnen, Ethiopian Airlines’ Area Manager for Nigeria, the evening flights will depart Abuja at 10 p.m. and arrive in Addis Ababa by 5 a.m., giving passengers smoother connections to destinations across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

“These new flights mean faster travel times and more convenient connections,” Firiehiwot said. Passengers on select routes—including Dubai, Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad—will also enjoy extra baggage allowance and double mileage points.

Ethiopian Airlines has been operating in Nigeria since 1960 and currently flies to Lagos (14 weekly), Abuja (10 weekly), Kano (6 weekly), and Enugu (3 weekly) using its modern Airbus A350-1000s and Boeing 787 Dreamliners. With this expansion, the airline strengthens its position as Africa’s leading carrier, offering more flexibility and value for Nigerian travelers.
