Moisturising pyjamas<br />
for Emirates' First Class<br />
passengers!<br />
Emirates' First Class passengers who travel on overnight flights are in for<br />
a treat!<br />
The airline recently introduced "the world's first moisturising sleepwear for<br />
the skies" using Hydra Active Microcapsule technology that keeps your skin<br />
soft while flying.<br />
Emirates said, "The fabric gently releases naturally nutrient rich sea kelp as you move around,<br />
preventing dehydration and stimulating circulation. Drape yourself with our soft sheep-skin like<br />
blankets, which are also exclusive to First Class customers and settle in for a peaceful rest."<br />
The pyjamas come with matching slippers, an eye mask and a felt pouch so you can take them<br />
home with you.<br />
According to Emirates, the Microcapsule Technology locks in the moisturiser so you can wash and<br />
wear the pyjamas again.<br />
Ethiopian Airlines flies to 7 new<br />
destinations in the first half of 2017!<br />
Africa’s largest airline group, Ethiopian Airlines will<br />
launch seven new destinations between February and<br />
June this year.<br />
The destinations are namely Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe,<br />
Antananarivo in Madagascar, Conakry in Guinea, Oslo<br />
in Norway, Chengdu in China and both Indonesia and<br />
Singapore's capital cities.<br />
Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO, Tewolde GebreMariam<br />
said, "Africa’s share of the global aviation is the smallest<br />
which is only around 3%. As the largest airline group in<br />
the continent, we are highly concerned on the low base<br />
of air connectivity in the continent and we are setting<br />
record expansion to enable Africans enjoy safe, reliable<br />
and economical air connectivity both within the continent<br />
and between the continent and the rest of the world."<br />
He added, "Looking beyond the current economic<br />
slowdown especially in the oil export dependent economies<br />
of Africa, we firmly believe that the continent will become<br />
the magnet for foreign direct investment, trade and tourism,<br />
which are the engines of air travel growth and in turn efficient<br />
air connectivity also drives socio economic development<br />
and we are happy to contribute our share in the 21st Century<br />
African Transformation."<br />
The airline targets to reach 120 destinations worldwide<br />
by the year 2025. Currently, Ethiopian Airlines flies to 98<br />
destinations.<br />
