Ethiopia's largest airport and the only international air gateway to the country is also one of the busiest in Africa, thanks to local airline Ethiopian Airlines.

Addis Ababa Airport is one of the most frequent transfer points when travelling between Africa, the Middle East and the rest of the world. Ethiopian Airlines flies from here to more than 150 destinations on every continent except Australia.

Connections in Addis Ababa are convenient partly because Ethiopian Airlines provides a free hotel, see details.

Although Ethiopian Airlines handles nearly 90% of all traffic, other airlines such as Qatar Airways, Emirates, Flydubai, Egyptair, Turkish Airlines and others also fly into the airport.
