Wonder how long before SN knocks on the door of ET for a code share?

The timing would allow for good connection oportunities through BRU for sure in both ways...

Like I was saying in an earlier post, ET has plans to start talks with some airlines for a codeshare, under those airlines is SNBA.

I checked Amadeus and the flights are now available.

It's indeed nice to see two different pax airplanes of them at Bru and not forget their cargo planes also twice a day at Bru: one of them and the second one at this moment DAS air cargo.

I hope this will be a succes for Ethiopian Airlines, but I'm sure it will. The African continent is still very important for our country.
I hope to see them flying this route with a B787 in the future.

According to the latest we have now every month one or two new carriers who started to fly to BRU this till June.
