Ethiopia signs air services agreement with Spain
Ethiopia's government signed a bilateral air services framework agreement with Spain on 22-Jun-2011 (Addis Fortune, 27-Jun-2011). Three Spanish carriers would be allowed to operate into Boles International Airport, Dire Dawa International Airport, Alula Abanega International Airport and Ginbot 20 International Airport. The agreement also allows national carrier Ethiopian Airlines and others similar capabilities to operate into Spanish airports. The agreement would increase trade, investment and tourism between the countries. Ethiopia signed air service agreements with Malaysia and Mozambique this year. Including Spain, Ethiopia now has 91 air service agreements with other countries.
