Ethiopian’s new Lomé-Johannesburg service will benefit New York travelers to South Africa
NEW YORK, NY, USA, March 27, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ethiopian Airlines, the largest and the leading Pan-African Airline, will link western and southern Africa when it introduces its newest service from Lomé, Togo to Johannesburg, South Africa on April 9, 2017.
The new service will operate four times per week with 737-800 aircraft and will bolster Lomé’s role as a growing aviation hub for West and Central Africa, offering connections to 14 regional cities including Dakar, Conakry, Lagos, Libreville and Kinshasa.
The new route also offers time-saving convenience for U.S. travelers flying to/from Ethiopian’s Newark/New York gateway. They can now enjoy one-stop service to South Africa with the Lomé connection. From Newark, the connection time to Johannesburg is two hours; from Johannesburg the connection time in Lomé is one hour.
News of Ethiopian’s latest flight development comes in the same week as the airline embarks on one of its greatest expansions in its long and illustrious history, with the launch of three new destinations – Victoria Falls, Oslo, and Antananarivo – within three days, 26-28 March 2017. Group CEO Mr. Tewolde GebreMariam said, “We are proud that we are able to link these new stations to the Ethiopian network in such a short period of time.”
