TREE NEWS update: Ethiopian Airlines said it will resume flights from Addis Ababa to Mekelle, the capital of Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, starting Wednesday. The carrier had suspended services to Mekelle, Aksum and Shire on September 23 due to the local situation. The airline announced the resumption on Tuesday, saying the route would reopen from the 11th.
Ethiopian Airlines to Resume Flights to Mekelle, Tigray Capital
The restart matters less as a commercial signal than as a practical gauge of conditions in Tigray: Ethiopian Airlines suspended Mekelle, Aksum and Shire together in late September, and only Mekelle is being reopened here. That asymmetry — one route back, two still closed — is the detail worth holding onto. Whether the remaining suspended destinations follow, and whether the Mekelle service holds without interruption, is the open question.
