Ethiopian Airlines refuses to ground flights to China

In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, several major airlines around the world have announced suspension of flights to China. However, Ethiopian Airlines has not followed suit.

Arguably the most influential airline in Africa, Ethiopian Airlines reaffirmed its support to the Chinese government and its people.

It further insists that it will work with all relevant Chinese and Ethiopian agencies to protect passengers and crew members from the disease. This, in full compliance with the guidelines of the International Air Transport Association, W.H.O. and the Centre for Disease Control.

Ethiopians are slamming their government for not stopping China flights

With the death toll of Coronavirus now having passed 300, and more than 14,000 infections confirmed, WHO has declared the virus a global health emergency.

With countries including Australia, Japan and the US imposing travel restrictions on those who have recently traveled to the country and over 10,000 flights having been canceled since the outbreak, Ethiopia’s decision to keep operating its flights to and from China, is one that is not sitting well with its citizens.
