Ethiopian Airlines to Resume Passenger Service to Malaysia

Ethiopian Airlines, the largest airline in Africa, will resume scheduled passenger services to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with effect from 25 March 2023.

The four-weekly service will be linked to the airline's service to Singapore and will be operated using an ultramodern Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Regarding the flight resumption, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mr. Mesfin Tasew said, “We are excited to bring our Kuala Lumpur flights back to service. The resumption of the flights reopens convenient and seamless travel options between Kuala Lumpur and more than 60 African destinations.

Kuala Lumpur is a destination of choice for both business and leisure travellers, and we are proud to provide a convenient travel option that is suitable for passengers traveling for either of the purposes.''

According to Mesfin, these flights are also one of the channels easing the diplomatic and socio-economic ties between Malaysia and Africa thus, the resumption of the service plays a significant role in the relationship of the two regions.

Ethiopian Airlines first commenced its service between Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with a thrice-weekly service back in 2012. However, the flight was suspended later in 2021.
