Ethiopian Airlines is all set to operate another route between New York and Côte d'Ivoire from May 23, 2023. This route was originally launched in June 2019 but was suspended in March 2020 due to pandemic.
The airline will resume the flight between New York JFK international and Felix Houphouet Boigny International Airport in Côte d'Ivoire, commonly known as the Ivory Coast. Passengers flying from Ethiopia to New York can also board this flight as it will originate from the airline's hub at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport.
This year, Ethiopian Airlines is resuming its service to various international destinations it served in the past. The airline has already announced plans to fly to Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, Singapore, Jeddah, and Malta.
