Ethiopian Airlines is increasing frequency of flights from Moscow

Ethiopian Airlines is increasing its flight frequency from Moscow starting June 24, 2026. The airline will operate six weekly flights instead of the current schedule, adding an extra departure on Wednesdays. This expansion comes at a time when travel options remain limited for many routes. The airline offers convenient connections to Africa and South America via its hub in Addis Ababa. The flight from Moscow to Addis Ababa takes approximately 8 hours. Layovers at the hub range from just 1 to 3.5 hours, making connections smooth and efficient. Total travel time to major African destinations averages between 15 and 17 hours. A key advantage is that flight routes avoid the airspace of Middle Eastern countries, including Iran. This is seen as an added confidence factor for trip planning under current conditions. Overall, the increased frequency provides greater flexibility and easier access to long-haul destinations.
