(June 19, 2012,(Flight Global))--Ethiopian Airlines is aiming to begin Sao Paulo services this year,
having identified Brazil as a crucial market, and intends to feed the
flights with its Togolese operator ASKY.
Chief executive Tewolde
Gebremariam says the carrier will have a "heavy emphasis" on Brazil,
China and India and claims these countries will drive the "huge growth"
central to its Vision 2025 strategy.
He says the carrier hopes to start the Sao Paulo route in December and operate via Lomé, where its West African venture ASKY will serve as a feeder. Ethiopian will also broaden its African base reach, Gebremariam adds, with a hub in southern Africa - in Zambia or Tanzania - as well as a central hub in "one of the Congos", to complement its base at Addis Ababa.
Its network will extend to Cotonou, Benin, in mid-June and Toronto in July, with the Namibian capital Windhoek following in October-November. Read more from Flight Global »
