Ethiopian Airlines will resume direct flights between Abidjan and New York's John F. Kennedy Airport starting May 29, 2023.
The African airline first flew to New York in June 2019 from its main hub Addis Ababa via Abidjan. However, the route was suspended in March 2020 due to the pandemic. In October 2020, the flight to New York via Lomé was resumed, as the carrier announced in a broadcast. The flight operates four times a week between Addis Ababa and New York via Abidjan.
„Wir freuen uns, unseren Direktflug zwischen Abidjan und New York wieder aufzunehmen. Die Wiederaufnahme unseres Fluges Abidjan-New York bringt uns die Flexibilität zurück, die unsere Passagiere schätzen. In den vergangenen Monaten haben wir die Flugfrequenzen erhöht und neue Ziele in Afrika, Europa, dem Nahen Osten und Asien aufgenommen, und wir freuen uns, dass die Strecke Abidjan-New York wieder aufgenommen wird“, so Mesfin Tasew, CEO der Ethiopian Airlines Group.
Additionally, starting May 16, 2023, Ethiopian will launch a new passenger service to Atlanta, USA. Atlanta will be Ethiopian Airlines' sixth destination in the United States, following passenger flights to New York, Newark, Chicago, Washington DC and cargo flights to Miami.
