## Description

One airline, one route: Asosa Airport (IATA: ASO, ICAO: HASO) is served solely by Ethiopian Airlines from Addis Ababa, roughly 20 flights a week on regional aircraft with a block time of about one hour twenty-five. The airport lies some 5.5 km south-east of Asosa, the capital of the Benishangul-Gumuz region in far western Ethiopia near the Sudanese border, and is effectively the region's only air link. For freight purposes it offers no cargo infrastructure and no freighter operations: shipments move as belly cargo in narrow holds, meaning small consignments, spare parts, pharmaceuticals and courier traffic within strict weight and volume limits. Shippers needing genuine cargo capacity, customs clearance or cold-chain handling plan via Addis Ababa Bole (ADD), Africa's leading cargo airport and home to the Ethiopian Cargo terminal, and truck the final leg to Asosa. Regional exports such as sesame, gold and agricultural produce conventionally travel by road to Addis Ababa rather than by air from Asosa. Given the volatile security situation in western Ethiopia, road corridors and transport windows should be verified shortly before dispatch.
