## Description

Ethiopian Airlines is effectively the sole carrier at Alula Aba Nega, linking Mekele—the capital of the Tigray region—with Addis Ababa. Set at around 2,250 metres in the northern highlands, the airport handles passengers rather than freight. Air cargo for the region is routed through the national hub at Addis Ababa (ADD). Scheduled service has gradually resumed following the years of conflict in Tigray.
