Ethiopian Airlines says it will “inaugurate three new domestic airports and launch passenger flights to the destinations by mid-April 2026. The new airports are located in Negele Borena, Gore Metu, and Debre Markos.”
The airline says it plans to “operate thrice weekly passenger flights to each of the destinations. The addition of the 3 destinations increases Ethiopian Airlines’ domestic network to 26, further boosting air connectivity throughout the country.”
Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO, Mr. Mesfin Tasew said: “The inauguration of these three new airports, along with the commencement of passenger services, represents a major milestone for Ethiopian Airlines and for the nation as a whole. This expansion reflects our steadfast commitment to enhancing connectivity within Ethiopia and serves as a powerful driver of economic growth and regional development.”
As Ethiopian Airlines prepares to integrate these three new destinations into its network, the airline says “its focus on modernizing the domestic travel experience remains firm, highlighted by infrastructure renovation and enhancement.”
