Ethiopian Airlines

roundymac

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, excuse me if it has but there is an article in todays Indo travel section on Travelling to Ethopia. In it the writer mentions that they travelled via London but states that Eithopian plan to start a new route direct from Dublin. I don't have a link for this I'm afraid, I was just wondering will it be used to feed passengers on to the USA with EI?

Ok bear with me

Every day we here in Dublin get INADs
Folks from Africa who arrive with no no passports, they flush them down the loo en route chain political asylum and as ROI is first point arrival in EUR they enter
The system as refugees , mainly from AUH DXB so now we add ET
And let's not get started on Ebola


Sri but I can't help thinking we just don't need this route ,

Have you any statistics as to the number and percentage of passengers flying into Ireland from AUH & DXB who claim asylum on arrival ? Or how many ET passengers say who fly into other EU destinations do the same ?

I don't know what you are having a go at Ebola for, he was quite a good left back in the day..fierce shot on him.

Enjoy the hangover.

Sorry to say most of the INADS are coming in on TK flights via IST and normally if caught get shipped back the same day if possible.

Not that I agree with him, but...
The OP is talking about those that claim asylum, not INADs. You can't just bundle those back on the flight from whence they came (not legally anyway).

And a for Ebola, Ethopia is about as far away from the Ebola outbreak as, well, we are. So I doubt that will be the point of entry if it ever does get here.

Don't panic OP, it might never happen.

Tell that to AGS in DUB constantly seeing it, Pilot in TK who i know was saying legally they can take upto 5 inads back on the same flight if their discovered by AGS at the airport before pushback.

Correct. Africa is huge. Like really, really HUGE. Many of the projections that cartographers use to make maps shrink the lower lattitudes and stretch the higher lattitudes, making Europe look bigger than it is and Africa look smaller. ADD to DUB is only about 400 miles longer than ADD to FNA.

You're confusing INADs with asylum seekers. Not the same thing.
The UNHCR would be interested to know that we were refusing asylum seekers without due process.

Trust me i know damn well what inads are i was working on the ground when i couldnt get myself a job back flying a few years ago without moving to the sandbox.

To this day inads are put back on aircraft and sent back to the point of departure.

Asylum seekers i havent even mentioned.
