ADDIS ABABA, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- Ethiopian Airlines has resumed flights to Port Sudan, a port city in eastern Sudan, the leading African carrier announced late Wednesday.
"Ethiopian Airlines is delighted to announce the reinstatement of its flight to Port Sudan, Sudan. Starting from Oct. 15, Ethiopian Airlines will operate a daily flight to Port Sudan," the airline said in a statement.
The Ethiopian flag carrier said it will increase the frequency to two flights daily from Nov. 1.
Ethiopian Airlines launched a daily flight service to Port Sudan in October last year. The flight was suspended due to security concerns in connection with the ongoing civil war in Sudan.
Port Sudan, a strategic port city in eastern Sudan, has remained one of the few relatively stable zones, playing a critical role as a logistical and humanitarian hub amid the country's continued conflict. ■
