Ethiopian Airlines Doubles Weekly Flights to Lagos, Nigeria











Addis Ababa, April 21, 2025 — Ethiopian Airlines has announced a major expansion in its flight services to Lagos, Nigeria. Beginning June, 2025, the airline will increase its weekly flights from 7 to 14. This move reflects a growing demand for connectivity between the two African commercial hubs.

The announcement was made through Ethiopian Airlines’ official social media platforms, emphasizing that the additional flights aim to offer more flexible and convenient options for travelers. The move not only strengthens air connectivity between East and West Africa but also aligns with Ethiopian Airlines’ broader strategy of boosting intra-African travel and trade.

Lagos, as Nigeria’s largest city and a major economic powerhouse in West Africa, is a critical destination for business travelers, diaspora communities, and tourists alike. With the increase in frequency, passengers will now have the opportunity to choose between morning and evening departures, enhancing convenience and reducing wait times.

Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest and most profitable carrier, continues to lead the continent’s aviation industry through its expansive network and commitment to service excellence. The increase in flights to Lagos is expected to boost tourism, enhance business travel, and further position Addis Ababa as a key aviation hub for Africa.

This development is also part of Ethiopian Airlines’ broader goal of promoting Pan-African integration and improving air access between African nations—key pillars in the continent’s economic development and regional cooperation frameworks like the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Passengers can now book their tickets through the airline’s website, mobile app, or travel agencies. Ethiopian Airlines has reassured customers that its enhanced Lagos service will maintain its hallmark hospitality, safety standards, and efficient scheduling.
