Airlines and services Addis Ababa

The airport is 20 minutes from the city center (if traffic is good) and 5 minutes from the Bole area. Terminal 2 handles the majority of international flights, while Terminal 1 (a 5-minute walk away) handles domestic flights. E-visa is compulsory and pre-approved on arrival, so formalities are swift. The major hotels have their own transfer service, free of charge in Bole (remember this when booking). A cash dispenser (birr) is available at the airport.

Direct flights to Addis Ababa from Paris. Foreign tourists with an international Ethiopian Airlines flight benefit from the resident fare for domestic flights, which is a really good deal. The airline serves twenty local destinations, including Lalibela, Gondar, Bahar Dar, Dire Dawa, Arba Minch and Djinka, to name but a few of the most popular. There are several Ethiopan Airlines offices in town: at the bottom of Churchill Road, on De Gaulle Square in Piazza, at the Hilton Hotel and at the Radisson Blu. Book in advance during the holiday season.
