Nola Kianza makes a business trip to Ethiopia every other month, spending up to 48 gruelling hours in-transit each time.

The first regular, non-stop flight between Toronto and Addis Ababa boosts trade ties between Canada and Ethiopia, one of Africa’s largest markets with a population of over 80 million.
