ATC Strike in Addis Ababa Disrupts Ethiopian Flights
Operations return to normal following emergency talks

An air traffic controllers’ strike on the morning of April 17 at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport disrupted Ethiopian Airlines’ hub operations and delayed international flights by some other carriers, affecting thousands of passengers. The strike, which included air traffic controllers and other aviation technicians, brought airport activities to a virtual standstill for more than an hour, when negotiations between civil aviation authorities led to at least a temporary reprieve and a return to regular operations.
