[Jacaylbaro]

Ethiopian Airlines has officially delegated Noble Travel Agency to carry out their flight bookings in Somaliland. The agency will have exclusive access to Ethiopian Airlines 1.95 million passenger database and cliets would be able to make bookings with them as well as Ethiopian Airlines affiliated carriers.

 

Since the suicide attacks in Somaliland October last year, the Ethiopian Airline’s office was closed and its flights has been suspended due to security concerns. A number of times, there were reports suggesting that the carrier might start resuming its flights via Berbera airport - however it was not to be.

 

Speaking to Somalilandpress, the manager of Noble Travel Agency, Mr Abdiqafar Mohamoud Isse said the agency was established in 2006 and has been growing ever since. After the Ethiopian airlines suspended its operations in Somaliland, they have been seeking other alternatives in order to continue their business in the country.

 

In early March of this year, the Ethiopian carrier invited three traveling agencies from Somaliland to it’s head office in Addis Ababa for contracting bid. Noble Travel Agency was selected as the official winner on the 27th of April - the other two bidders were Olympic Travel Agency and Hargeisa National Travel & Tourism Agency (HNTTA). Mr Abdiqafar, said his agency was selected because of their extensive experience in the field and connections with other carriers such as Xoriyo, Zuhura, Cosob and Daallo airlines.

 

Ethiopian Airlines has not officially annouced when it will resume it’s flights to Somaliland cities but Addis-Hargeisa travelers can make bookings with Noble Travel Agency, they will be able to connect them with any of the following carriers Air Ethiopia, Xorriyo, Zuhura and Daallo Airlines. Noble Travel plans to lauch their online services soon.

 

Earlier this month, Ethiopian Airlines reported a healthy net profit of 857 million birr ($76m) in it’s last eight months despite global turbulence. Ethiopian Airline is one of the most successful company in Ethiopia and has placed orders for ten 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft for a total value of $1.3 billion – making the Ethiopian National carrier the only African carrier to order Boeing’s Dreamliner.

Ethiopian Airlines realized they are losing to competitors, and they decided to start their service again.

The profit comes because their high sky rocketing fare prices, very astronomical indeed if you know Ethiopian Airlines very well.

 

 

But at least they teamed up local travel agencies, who will at least get something from Ethiopian Airlines which is 100% controlled and owned by the Tigrey regime.
