The airline joined hands with BGI Health Ethiopia, a subsidiary of China’s biotech giant, the BGI Genomics Co., Ltd, to launch the high-end COVID-19 testing laboratory at its main hub and the continent’s busiest airport, Addis Ababa Bole International Airport.
This was disclosed in a statement from the airline in Nigeria signed by the Country Manager, Mr. Shimeles Arage.
The statement explained that the testing center was opened to revitalise passengers’ business by creating seamless travel experience that includes COVID-19 testing to passengers that are departing or transiting via Addis Ababa.
