Addis Ababa, April 21, 2025 – Ethiopian Airlines has announced a significant expansion of its flight service to Lagos, Nigeria. Starting in June 2025, airlines will increase their weekly flights from 7 to 14. The move reflects the growing demand for connectivity between the two African commercial hubs.
The announcement was made through Ethiopian Airlines' official social media platform and highlighted the aim of providing additional flights with more flexible and convenient options for travelers. The move is in line with Ethiopian Airlines' broad strategy to not only strengthen air connections between East and West Africa, but also to boost intra-African travel and trade.
Lagos, Nigeria's largest city and West Africa's leading economic power, is an important destination for business travelers, diaspora communities and tourists. With increasing frequency, passengers have the opportunity to choose to leave in the morning and evening, increasing convenience and reducing waiting times.
Ethiopian Airlines, Africa's largest and most profitable airline, continues to lead the continental aviation industry through its vast network and commitment to service excellence. The increase in flights to Lagos is expected to boost tourism, strengthen business trips and put Addis Ababa in further position as Africa's leading aviation hub.
The development is also part of a broader goal of promoting Ethiopian Airlines' pan-African integration and improving access to the air between African countries. This is a key pillar in the continental economic development and regional cooperation frameworks such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AFCFTA).
Passengers can now book tickets through the airline's website, mobile app, or travel agents. Ethiopian Airlines has reassured its customers that its enhanced Lagos services will maintain its distinctive hospitality, safety standards and efficient scheduling.
