Ethiopian Airlines launched a Tokyo-Addis Ababa route on April 21st, providing the only direct flights between Japan and Africa.

There are three flights a week on Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

The route is a code-share with ANA, so passengers are able to connect via Tokyo Narita Airport to and from destinations across Japan with a single ticket and check-in.

For outbound passengers there are onward connections from Addis Ababa to numerous destinations across Africa and Europe, and even to Sao Paolo.

I came to Japan from Manchester, England in 2003, and have travelled a lot since then, around Japan and in Asia. When I'm not working, I write satire and perform stand-up comedy in and around Tokyo. Check YouTube for a taste.
