Ethiopian Airlines launches new service to Nacala

Following Maputo and Beira, Nacala is now Ethiopian Airlines’ third destination in Mozambique.

Ethiopian Airlines launched a new passenger service to Nacala in northern Mozambique on 27 October 2026. The coastal city will now be served three times a week from Addis Ababa, complementing the airline’s existing services in Mozambique, which already include connections to Maputo and Beira. The new service improves international access to northern Mozambique.
Nacala is considered a tourist gateway to the region and also provides access to economic opportunities that are expected to become more accessible through the additional flight connections.
More than 65 destinations in Africa
The inaugural flight departed from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport following a ceremonial event attended by government representatives, partners and airline executives. Commenting on the launch of the new route, Mesfin Tasew, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines Group, said: “As an airline deeply rooted in Africa, Ethiopian Airlines remains committed to connecting every corner of the continent with the rest of the world. Today, we are pleased to welcome Nacala, one of Mozambique’s key destinations, to our extensive global network. The new service further strengthens our presence in Mozambique, with Nacala becoming the third destination in the country served by Ethiopian Airlines.”
Through its hub in Addis Ababa, Ethiopian Airlines connects more than 65 destinations across the African continent. The new route is intended to make northern Mozambique more accessible, particularly for international business travellers, tourists, investors and development partners. In addition, improved connectivity is expected to promote trade, investment and tourism, as well as strengthen cross-border cooperation.
