The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) confirms the Ethiopia's airports are free from security threats. This announcement follows a rigorous security audit conducted by ICAO.

During a press conference, Asrat Kejela, Director of the Civil Aviation Security Main Department, revealed details of the audit. ICAO experts assessed eight key elements and nine specific areas of aviation security, ultimately commending Ethiopia's strong security framework.

This ICAO clearance allows Ethiopia to expand its flight routes without additional security checks and creates a favorable environment for other airlines to operate. Enhanced aviation safety is expected to fuel tourism growth and contribute to Ethiopia's overall socio-economic development.

Ethiopia, a member of ICAO since its inception in 1944, was one of the first African countries to sign the Chicago Convention
