## Description

Ethiopian Airlines is the only scheduled operator at Arba Minch Airport (AMH/HAAM), and every kilogram of air freight leaving southern Ethiopia through it travels as belly cargo on those passenger flights to Addis Ababa Bole. The airport has a single 2,800-metre paved runway (03/21) but no dedicated cargo terminal, no freighter services and no international scheduled routes. Handling is carried out by Ethiopian's own ground services and is sized for accompanied and small consignment volumes rather than pallets. Exporters in the surrounding region — cotton, bananas, fruit and freshwater fish from Lake Chamo and Lake Abaya — normally truck their goods roughly 500 km to Addis Ababa, where Ethiopian Cargo runs the country's central air freight operation and where customs clearance for foreign trade takes place. Regional alternatives are Hawassa (AWA) and Jimma (JIM), neither of which offers dedicated freight infrastructure either. Traffic is dominated by tourism to Nechisar National Park plus government and project travel. No current tonnage figures are published for AMH, so shippers should confirm capacity and acceptance times with the handling agent before booking.
