Ethiopian Airlines (ET, Addis Ababa International) suspended its flights between Addis Ababa International and the northern Tigray region on January 29 as reports of fresh clashes raised fears that a fragile 2022 truce could be unravelling, Reuters and the BBC reported. "As of today, all flights have been cancelled," a spokesman told Reuters, without giving a reason. According to ch-aviation capacities data, Ethiopian Airlines currently flies to three airports in the region, Makale (also known as Mekelle; 51x weekly), Indaselassie, and Axum (14x weekly each). An African Union-brokered 2022 peace deal had halted a two-year war that killed an estimated 600,000 people, according to an AU envoy. However, renewed clashes have heightened concerns that the peace process is faltering.
