Ethiopian Airlines suspends flights to Asmara amid deteriorating relations with Eritrea.

Ethiopian Airlines has suspended flights to Eritrea's capital, Asmara, effective September 3, citing difficult operating conditions. This decision follows Eritrea's announcement of suspending all Ethiopian Airlines flights at the end of the month. Relations have soured since the resumption of services in 2018 after a peace deal. Ethiopian Airlines will offer rebooking or refunds for affected passengers, but specific reasons for the operational difficulties remain unclear.
