How can I correct or change a passenger name with Ethiopian Airlines?
The page lists a USD 50 service charge for the eligible provision. Describe your case accurately instead of choosing the nearest label just to submit the form. A passport or marriage document may explain a legitimate difference, but the airline still reviews the request. The published form excludes tickets purchased through travel agencies from this provision. For an agency ticket, ask the seller which correction path applies rather than assuming the direct-booking form will process it. Before authorizing a correction, confirm whether the quoted amount covers all required ticket work and whether partner flights need separate handling. Keep the case acknowledgment, but do not confuse it with a completed correction. Once the airline or seller confirms completion, compare the ticketed name with the travel document and verify that the intended traveler and every flight remain correct.
Important unknowns
- Agency-booked cases and any correction outside the listed provision need an individual servicing decision.
