Jan 23, 2024 (newstodate): Norway will see less of Ethiopian Airlines' flights in the coming summer '24 schedule.
The carrier will cut two of its currently seven weekly passenger flights with Boeing 787-8 aircraft connecting Oslo Airport and Addis Ababa via Stockholm Airport.
Ethiopian Airlines first launched services to Scandinavia in 2001 with flights to Copenhagen Airport, Denmark, but moved the Scandinavian service to Stockholm in Sweden from October 28, 2003, mainly to tap into 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 - shipments of Norwegian seafood to the flight.
Finally, flights from Addis Ababa returned to Copenhagen Airport from May 22, 2023, as an extension of its route between Vienna and Addis Ababa, with 5th Freedom Rights to cover the leg connecting Vienna and Copenhagen.
In addition to the passenger services, Ethiopian Airlines also launched freighter operations at Oslo Airport in 2020 - and from March 12, 2023, Ethiopian Airlines Cargo introduced a weekly freighter service at Copenhagen Airport flying in from the carrier's main European hub at Liege and continuing directly to Addis Ababa.
