Addis Ababa’s corporate, diplomatic and African Union traffic anchors charter demand; the city’s high elevation makes runway and performance planning important, which our engine handles automatically.
Lalibela, Gondar, Axum and Bahir Dar draw charter tourism, reached by light jet or turboprop from Addis. International links run through Nairobi, Djibouti and Dubai.
