Ethiopian Cargo Services started new cargo freighter flights to Istanbul (SAW) and Beirut (BEY) on April 23, 2016. The newly launched flights will further strengthen ET’s cargo service to/from Liege (LGG) and Brussels (BRU) which are the strategic hubs in Europe. The flights are routed LGG-SAW-ADD and LGG-BEY-ADD.

 

The destinations will offer more convenient routes for Ethiopian customers to South East Europe and Middle East. Each destination will be served once a week with B777-200 LR freighters, the longest range twin-engine freighter aircrafts, with a capacity to hold 103 tons per aircraft.
