With Port Sudan now included in Ethiopian Airlines’ expansive network, which encompasses 66 African destinations, travel between Ethiopia and Sudan has become more accessible than ever.
Port Sudan, a vibrant city on the Red Sea coast, boasts pristine beaches and some of the best diving spots in the region. This new route opens up opportunities for travelers to explore the unique landscapes and cultural heritage of the city, contributing significantly to the growth of Sudan’s tourism sector.
The addition of Port Sudan to Ethiopian Airlines’ route map not only facilitates tourism but also strengthens business exchanges between the two neighboring countries. By providing direct flights, the airline fosters economic cooperation and integration across the continent, a commitment that has made Ethiopian Airlines a pivotal player in connecting various parts of Africa with each other and the world.
This new route is a testament to Ethiopian Airlines’ dedication to expanding its network and providing reliable service across Africa.
