Flights to Awasa
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Awasa is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Hawassa International Airport (AWA), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hawassa International Airport | AWA | 10 km (6 mi) | 9,843 ft | 5,450 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,843 ft, AWA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 5,450 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
