Africa’s largest airline group, Ethiopian Airlines, has finalized preparations to resume  services to  Conakry on  February 01st, 2017.

Conakry is the capital of The Republic of Guinea and a port city on the Atlantic Ocean serving as the country’s economic, financial and cultural center. Guinea is a major producer of bauxite and has rich deposits of diamonds and gold.

Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, Mr. Tewolde GebreMariam said, “We are delighted to have the opportunity to provide our customers a new choice of fast and efficient connectivity via our Addis Ababa gateway to and from our global network together with a multiple award winning customer service and care. Charting a route that joins Africa,  East to West and North to South, Ethiopian is greatly contributing to the economic, tourism, and trade development of the African continent. We are  proud to add Conakry among our West African destinations and further deepen our African route network. Conakry will be our 54th African and 96th international destination.”  

With this flight, Ethiopian joins partner ASKY Airlines at Conakry. Passengers in Conakry can currently connect to major cities in West Africa and the Americas via ASKY’s hub at Lomé, including Lagos, Douala, Libreville, Cotonou, Kinshasa, Brazzaville, São Paulo and New York.
