May 16, 2018 (newstodate): Ethiopian Airlines is seeing good results from its operations at Oslo Airport and plans for an increase in frequency.
With the first flight on March 27, 2017, Ethiopian Airlines is currently offering five weekly rotations between Addis Ababa and Oslo with Boeing 787-8 aircraft, providing the first direct air link from Oslo to Africa via Stockholm that has been served since October 28, 2003.
Plans are now to go daily at Oslo Airport from the coming winter schedule, but ambitions are even to attain direct flights between Oslo and Addis Ababa in 2019, splitting the current triangular flight via Stockholm.
The route is now operated with Boeing 787-8 aircraft that will, however, be replaced by the larger Boeing 787-9 aircraft from this autumn.
At Oslo Gardermoen Airport, the carrier is handled by SAS Ground Handling and Spirit Air Cargo Handling, while cargo sales are provided by Kales Airline Services.
