Ethiopian Airlines is boosting its cargo capacity in Vietnam with the announcement of a new four-times-weekly passenger service to Hanoi.

Africa's largest airline said the launch of the Hanoi route marks Ethiopian Airlines' first passenger gateway into Vietnam and its 20th destination in Asia, strengthening the airline's strategic expansion in Southeast Asia and deepening ties between the region and Africa.

Mesfin Tasew, group chief executive officer of Ethiopian Airlines, noted that the new route not only supports the carrier's vision of connecting Africa to the world but also serves as a bridge for enhanced cooperation between Africa and Southeast Asia.

Currently, Ethiopian Airlines operates flights to 28 passenger and cargo destinations in Asia, with over 190 weekly frequencies, making it one of the most connected African carriers in the region.

The new Addis Ababa–Hanoi route, operated with a one-stop in Dhaka, Bangladesh, provides greater access between the two continents.
