Ethiopian Airlines Partners with Africa CDC to Implement AU Trusted Travel Pass
Ethiopian Airlines has partnered with the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) for the implementation of the African Union (AU) Trusted Travel Pass to make continental travel easier and safer amidst the COVID -19 pandemic, the carrier said in a statement sent to 2merkato.com. Africa CDC has mobilized a broad multi-stakeholder public-private partnership with the help of its strategic partners, the PanaBIOS Consortium and Econet, and with the objective of addressing current challenges posed by citizens' and institutions' difficulty in accessing accurate health information, high costs, and inconvenience in cross border travel, and poor data for health policy and biosecurity planning.

Ethiopian Airlines and IOCC Consulting are now in the final stage in concluding a long-term agreement between the two companies. The initial part of the agreement was signed on 14 January 2016 by Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mr. Tewolde GebreMariam (left) and IOCC Consulting’s CEO Mr. Dustin Paul Wilden (right). The agreement will include a mutually beneficial business relationship regarding aviation simulators and training at Ethiopian Airlines headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
