The government says it is not worried over the decision by Ethiopian Airlines to partner Zambia,

despite having another partnership with Malawi in Malawi Airlines.

Recently, Ethiopian Airlines signed a joint venture deal with the Zambian government which will

see the formation of a new airline in which Zambia will be the majority shareholder with 55 percent

and Ethiopian will have 45 percent stakes.

In a statement, Ethiopian Airlines Group Chief Executive Officer, Tewolde Gebremariam, said the

launching of Zambia Airways will enable the travelling public in Zambia and the Southern African

region to enjoy greater connectivity options, thereby facilitating the flow of investment, trade and

tourism and contributing to the socio-economic gro\Mh of the country and the region.
