Turkish Airlines to Begin Flights to Eritrea on May 29


In an interview with Voice of America's Tigrinya program, Tsehaye Fassil, the Director at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirmed Turkish Airlines will commence flights to Eritrea in May.

"Turkish Airlines will begin flights to Eritrea on May 29." Said Tesehaye.

The minister also disclosed Yemeni and Egyptian carriers will soon begin daily flights to Asmara to meet the demand of peak travel season to Eritrea, which is traditionally from May-August.

In regards to Lufthansa Airlines, the official said they can begin flights to Asmara whenever they want, and stressed that they are just one airliner of many that can do business with the country.

Currently, Egypt Air, Yemeni Airlines, Nova Airlines, Sudanese Airways all fly to Asmara, while Turkish Airlines (May 29), Fly Olympic/Jordan Airlines (June 6), and Qatar Airways will commence flights soon.

  12. When some people hear the name NOVA they think it is a big airlines. NOVA is an airlines with 1 Boeing 737-500 and 4 CRJ 200ER. CRJ 200 ER is an aircraft with 50 seats. This airlines can not provide adequate service for Eritreans that lives in US, Europe and Middle East.

  13. In business, the more competition something has; the more prices go down. But you are right, Egypt Air has been price gouging. Their prices for Eritrea should be called theft.

  14. What false hope? Turkish Airlines will be flying to Eritrea in May whether this makes you uncomfortable or not. I wonder why good news seems to upset those who hate on Eritrea and Eritreans so much?

  15. I don't think you genuinely care about how much the ticket cost. Your destination is Mekele, not Asmara. :-)

  16. Fyi, this news is coming from the Eritrean government.

  17. It doesn't make me upset.

    I'm just used to western culture now when an airline states they are flying somewhere they say it when you can book tickets.

    It was first reported that they would be flying "soon" in July 2013.

    Soon is not considered 10 months that is why until we can book tickets I would prefer it not be called news.

  22. Why would be my destination Mekele?? Is it b/s I act as a free person who dare to question questions?

    ReplyDelete
  23. I totally agree with you and if you listen to his interview he did not say it will exactly start on May 29 but "around May 29", so a correction to Madote in terms of giving the correct info.

  24. Regard to the news the flight
    will begin May 29. What about for those who want to celebrate Independence Day?
    i personally prefer to celebrate May 24 that is what i have been waiting for
    the last 10 years i have never been Eritrea since 1998. This is the year I decide
    to go to Asmara see family and celebrate Independence Day is there any way that
    can make quickly the flight before May.
