The closest large one is Hawassa International Airport (AWA), 75 km (47 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

AirportCodeFrom centreLongest runwayElevation
Hawassa International AirportAWA75 km (47 mi)9,843 ft5,450 ft
Arba Minch Airport (regional)AMH93 km (58 mi)9,170 ft3,901 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.
