Ethiopian Airlines offers fares discount to Millennium Marathon runners

Ethiopian will offer a discount of 10% off both Business and Economy class fares from all its online departure points including its UK hub at London Heathrow

The 21 kilometer race, dubbed the ‘Millennium Marathon’, is hosted by Accra Metropolis and sponsored by Millennium Marathon Sports Ltd from Ethiopia. It is expected to draw around 15,000 participants including some of the best runners from around the world in what is anticipated to be one of the fastest marathons in Africa. Owing to its short distance, the race will be particularly appealing to those who are planning to take part in the New York and Boston Marathons.

Michael Yared, UK area manager, Ethiopian Airlines said: “We look forward to welcoming London-based passengers as they prepare to participate in this outstanding international event. Our special promotion coupled with our highly convenient daily service from London Heathrow’s Terminal 2, we hope, will provide further incentive to book with Ethiopian and enjoy our on-board hospitality.”
