Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest carrier, has announced the resumption of its direct passenger flight service between Addis Ababa and Atlanta, USA. The route will recommence on May 21 after a temporary interruption.

• The resumption is driven by growing demand from business travelers, the African diaspora, and tourists.
• Ethiopian Airlines Group, led by Chief Executive Officer Mesfin Tasew, is reintroducing the service.
• The route aims to strengthen the airline's role as a vital link between Africa and the rest of the world, particularly given Atlanta's status as a major economic hub and home to a large African diaspora community.
