Many investors and tourists from Europe and Asia cannot fly directly to Mekelle City, Tigray, Ethiopia. They have to transit or make a lay over in Addis Ababa. This is entirely stressing for those living in Europe or Asia as time is money and it is quite stressing to fly for 8 hours and take the next flight if available frm Addis Ababa Airport to Mekelle City. Ethiopin Airlines has never served an internationa flight to Mekelle City.

The Ethiopian Airlines is expanding in other countries. Mekelle International Airport has optimal location for air travel to Europe and Asia. We call Ethiopian Airlines to start international flights to Mekelle from major cities in Europe and Asia. There could be a route via Mekelle to Addis Ababa 2-3 times a week as there may not be many passengers in the beginning. Those who want to fly through Addis Ababa to Mekelle can always do so ( there should be a choice and an alternative route)

We hope the Ethiopian Airlines flies to Mekele International Airport soon so that we save money and time. Besides this is a good opprotunity for the Mekelle and Tigray economy.

For those flying directly to Mekelle from any major city in Europe( UK, France, Russia, Polland, Germany etc) or Asia (China, India, Saudi Arabia etc), ticket costs could be much cheaper, which means passengers pay less and can take buses to travel to other destinations in Ethiopia. Daily buses to Gondar, Bahir Dar, Dessie, Lalibella, Aksum etc could be organised. There will be a good number of Ethiopians to visit their country for much less, which means more money in the end as people will fly frequently and in large number.

To answer to your question: Woyane leadership brain is inside their bellies and their bellies are right behind them they cannot see them and control them and they are being guided by their bellies not by their brains like normal human being. I begged Tewelde for the last four years and other things to do in his power rather he is submissive azzz kisser man than Tigrayan.

The shocking part is all the flights go over Tigray departures and arrivals, insane to think of it.

A private Tigrayan Airline should be established. We hope the North Star Group succeeds in creating a private line linking Aksum and Mekelle to major cities of the world. This airline can start by flying to Middle East, where they can fly 5-6x /day if there is market. The Tigray Business Community can do their business can do their businesses in Dubai or other cities like in Raydh. It willbe also easier to fly from Mekelle to India and China.

International flights to Mekelle or Aksum are vitally important to Tigray because of the ease and proximity to fly to Europe or Asia. Cargo flights to supply fresh meat and milk or [deleted] or cheese could be organised in the future as agriculture espands inTigray.

I feel in general we should do more in developing the infrastructure in Tigray than spend time politicking which is also good. The political issues in Ethiopia are getting complicated and Tigrayans to focus on developing their economy in all aspects. Tigray does not need Ethiopia to survve or develop. But we have a moral obligation to keep Ethiopia united.

In short we should try to get an international airline flying to Tigray. It is vital! We need to pray to get this as it is key to security and safety of Tigrayans. It is a shame Tigrayans should transit in Addis Ababa to fly to Meklle!

Tigray does not have any kind of moral or legal obligation to keep Ethiopia united. It is against Tigray interests but Tigray should focus with each individual nations of today ethnics to have good relationship moving forward. The name of Ethiopia is enemy of Tigray and there is no reason to adore your enemy rather destroy it.

I disagree. Ethiopia is neutral. Itis the ruling clique that is the enemy of the people of Tigray. I think the ruling are envious of Tigrayans in general because of it's long history.
We need to change the government in Ethiopia. Secession is not a solution. We need to enhance a federal system that economically benefits all regions. Today Ethiopia is federal in name only. Practically it is unitary, where Amharic language is the working and the leaders are Amhara by persuasionor blood. Meles Zenawi's TPLF failed to gaurantee the economic development in all regions. TPLF is a very rotten organisation. They are ignorants and make only sweet talks. We need to modify the federal system bring rel change to the ecoonmy at village and zone level.

We can solve the economic benefits being united argument cannot hold any water since confederation can solve that problem. Ethnics must gain their independents and then confederation.
