Ethiopian Airlines will resume direct flights between Abidjan and New York's John F. Kennedy Airport starting May 29, 2023.
The African airline first flew to New York in June 2019 from its main hub Addis Ababa via Abidjan. However, the route was suspended in March 2020 due to the pandemic. In October 2020, the flight to New York via Lomé was resumed, as the carrier announced in a broadcast. The flight operates four times a week between Addis Ababa and New York via Abidjan.
"We are delighted to resume our direct flight between Abidjan and New York. Resuming our Abidjan-New York flight gives us back the flexibility that our passengers value. In recent months, we have increased flight frequencies and added new destinations in Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and we are delighted to see the Abidjan-New York route resume," said Mesfin Tasew, CEO of the Ethiopian Airlines Group.
Additionally, starting May 16, 2023, Ethiopian will launch a new passenger service to Atlanta, USA. Atlanta will be Ethiopian Airlines' sixth destination in the United States, following passenger flights to New York, Newark, Chicago, Washington DC and cargo flights to Miami.
