Ethiopian Airlines celebrated 50 years of continuous service to Kigali, Rwanda, on 8 June 2025, marking a milestone since launching the Addis Ababa–Kigali route in 1975.
Over the decades, the airline has expanded both passenger and cargo operations, now operating 21 weekly passenger flights and three dedicated cargo services to Kigali. The route enhances diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties between Ethiopia and Rwanda while connecting travellers to over 145 global destinations.
As Africa’s largest network operator, Ethiopian Airlines continues to play a key role in facilitating intra-African trade, tourism, and global connectivity through its strategic hubs and growing fleet.
