Ethiopian Airlines has commenced flight to and from the capital of Guinea signaling a progress in intra continental travels.
This development is happening for the first time, that flights will operate non-stop between Addis Ababa and extend to the West African capital Conakry.
There will be at least three weekly nonstop flight services with the 787-8 Dreamliner starting November 30.
Due to the length of haul, travel time is estimated around 9 hrs 5 mins, the flights will arrive in Guinea in the afternoon and leave the next day in the morning.
The current rehabilitation of regional airports seems to be a prelude to a revival of air traffic in Guinea, and to soon cover neighbouring Liberia.
Given that the Star Alliance carrier flies to over 50 African cities, flights to the capital are back after last seeing Ethiopian in 2010. This means Ethiopian Airlines flights will no longer stop in Ouagadougou but switch to Monrovia instead.
