Ethiopian Airlines Set to Launch First-Ever Flights to Australia

Ethiopian Airlines Set to Launch First-Ever Flights to Australia

Ethiopian Airlines is preparing to launch passenger flights to Australia—the only continent it has not served in its eighty-year history. The new service will connect Addis Ababa with Melbourne, forging a long-awaited link between Africa and Australia while boosting trade, tourism, and investment flows.

Given the route’s long distance, the airline is expected to deploy its long-haul fleet of Airbus A350 or Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, both known for their fuel efficiency and passenger comfort on ultra-long-haul routes. Ethiopian Airlines executives are reportedly in advanced discussions with Melbourne Airport officials and are making detailed operational preparations for the launch.

This impressive result reflects strong investor confidence. In total, 48 institutional investors participated, spanning sectors such as banking, insurance, and non-financial industries. The coordinated effort involved investor roadshows and negotiations in Addis Ababa, Nairobi, and London, signaling international interest in Ethiopia’s financial sector liberalization.

According to sources, the airline has been planning flights to Australia for six years, but the challenge of securing suitable aircraft capable of serving such a long journey delayed the project. It is expected that the new route may include stopovers in cities such as Singapore for refueling and operational efficiency.
