Ethiopian Airlines cannot get cash out from some African states

Date:

Tewolde Gebremariam told Reuters that this was partly because countries such as Nigeria had been hit by recent falls in oil prices, which was reducing foreign exchange inflows.

This also meant cash held in the local currencies was losing value, he said.

“This is a huge challenge for us,” the CEO added.
