Zemen Bank and Emirates have partnered to offer payment options for buying air tickets and pay for other services of the airline. The new service will allow customers in Ethiopia to buy air tickets through Zemen Bank instead of physically going to the Emirates office in Bole.
“We are teaming up with Zemen, as it is a corporate bank and offer our increasing customers the chance to pay for their tickets at its various locations across the many branches,” said Manoj Nair, the Country Manager of Emirates in Ethiopia. “This way, we will make it easier for our ever-growing clientele to pay and enjoy our services.
“We consider Ethiopia as an important market for us and we continue to find new ways and partnerships to make our services available across the entire nation”, Manoj added.
Dubai-based Emirates airline, now the fourth largest aviation company in the world, has been operational in Ethiopia since 2006. It operates a daily flight to Dubai using a Boeing 777 plane and uses Addis Ababa as its connecting hub for the region.
Zemen Bank, one of the growing private banks in the nation is known to have a working relationship with some of the leading brand institutions operating in the nation, including Heineken, the Ethiopian arm of the United Kingdom Department of International Agency and Africa Oil.
