New member for Star Alliance

Monday, 29 Sep, 2010 0

 

Ethiopian Airlines is to become the third African carrier to join the Star Alliance network.
 
Joining South African Airways and Egyptair, the airline’s intra-Africa network will widen choice for Star Alliance network travellers across the globe.
 
Announcing the news, the chief executive officer at Star Alliance Jaan Albrecht said in the future there would be three main African hubs, Addis Ababa, Cairo and Johannesburg, maximising access to the continent from around the world.
 
Ethiopian Airlines chief executive officer Girma Wake said: “Our long experience in the Africa market, coupled with our strategic hub Addis Ababa, and the recently created Lomé hub, will allow Star Alliance members to access many new markets in Africa.
 
“Together, we can offer our passengers more convenient flight schedules, greater flight frequencies, a larger network and more on-line connections. All these features improve the quality of the service available to our customers.”
