Flights to Bishoftu
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Bishoftu is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD), 32 km (20 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Addis Ababa Bole International Airport | ADD | 32 km (20 mi) | 12,467 ft | 7,630 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,467 ft, ADD can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 7,630 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.
