Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest by passenger and route size, will know if it has a case to answer at the end of the month for claims of preventing certain ethnic Tigrayans from flying.

The Ethiopian Federal High Court will deliver a ruling on the jurisdiction on June 30 over a suit where the state-owned carrier is accused of blocking Tigrayans from travelling to local and international destinations out of the Tigray.
