Dec 16, 2022 (newstodate): Glad tidings for Copenhagen Airport this close to Christmas: Ethiopian Airlines is returning!
   Starting from May 22, 2023, Ethiopian Airlines will be offering five weekly calls at Copenhagen Airport as an extension of its route between Vienna and Addis Ababa.
   The route will be operated with Boeing 787 aircraft, and it remains to be seen if ET obtains 5th Freedom Rights to cover the leg connecting Vienna and Copenhagen.
    Ethiopian Airlines first launched services to Scandinavia in 2001 with flights to Copenhagen Airport, Denmark, but moved services to Stockholm in Sweden from October 28, 2003, mainly to tap the large ethnic market in this country.
   The carrier next extended the route with a further leg between Stockholm and Oslo from March 27, 2017, adding more Norwegian passengers and - not least - cargo shipments of Norwegian seafood to the flight.
   After suspension of services during the Covid-19 pandemic and the cautious reopening of flights between Addis Abeba and Sweden/Norway, the carrier reinstated daily flights on the route from June 1, 2022.
