Kombolcha Airport (DSE)

Kombolcha Airport (HADC) serves the twin cities of Kombolcha and Dessie in Ethiopia's Amhara Region, featuring a brand-new state-of-the-art passenger terminal inaugurated by Ethiopian Airlines in August 2025 following a multimillion-euro investment valued at over 12 million Euros. The modern Terminal 1 facility includes contemporary check-in counters, security screening areas, and a dedicated VIP terminal, representing a significant advancement in Ethiopia's domestic aviation infrastructure and establishing Kombolcha as a strategic transportation hub in north-central Ethiopia. The airport now operates daily Ethiopian Airlines flights connecting the Amhara Region directly to Addis Ababa and features an innovative direct route to Bahir Dar, enabling passengers to bypass the capital for regional travel, making journeys faster and more cost-effective for business and leisure travelers. The facility serves as a crucial gateway to tourism destinations including nearby Lalibela, Weldiya, and other historic sites along Ethiopia's northern circuit, supporting the region's growing tourism industry. Strategically positioned within the Wollo transport and logistics corridor, the airport facilitates efficient connections throughout the Amhara Region while supporting local economic development and reducing travel times for regional business activities. The world-class terminal accommodates modern aircraft operations with comprehensive ground support facilities, passenger amenities, and operational infrastructure designed to handle the increasing demand for domestic air travel in Ethiopia's rapidly developing aviation sector.
