Ethiopian Airlines started twice weekly service to Bogota, Colombia using the B777 freighter on 29 August 2018. The cargo service will depart from Zaragoza (Spain) and will fly to Bogota with a stopover in Miami. The airline’s Group CEO, Mr. Tewolde Gebremariam, said, they were very happy to see Zaragoza, Miami, and Bogota, connecting their fast growing freighter network in the Americas.

According to the CEO, the airlines will carry Inditex high-end textile products from Zaragoza to the Americas. He said, “In line with our strategic roadmap, Vision 2025, we will keep on expanding our cargo destinations worldwide, thereby facilitating trade and economic growth among different regions of the world.”

Ever since the first cargo charter operation was launched to Nairobi in 1946 and the boom of agriculture export products out of Ethiopia, Ethiopian Cargo Services is steadily growing since the early 1970s. Ethiopian Cargo is now one of the seven strategic business units of the Ethiopian Airlines Group and the largest cargo service provider in Africa.

Ethiopian Cargo is responsible for all Ethiopian Scheduled, Chartered/Leased and Extra Section cargo operations (sales and traffic handling activities, corporate agreements, pricing and other related issues).

Ethiopian Cargo and Logistics has an annual capacity of about 1 million tons.
