Ethiopian Airlines Resumes Kuala Lumpur Flights
Kuala Lumpur is a destination of choice for business and leisure travellers, and the airline is proud to provide a convenient travel option suitable for passengers travelling for either of the purposes. These flights are also one of the channels easing the diplomatic and socio-economic ties between Malaysia and Africa; thus, the resumption of the service plays a significant role in the relationship of the two regions.”
