## Description

Set in the hot lowlands of western Ethiopia along the Baro River, close to the South Sudan border, Gambela Airport serves a remote and sparsely connected region. Ethiopian Airlines links the town to Addis Ababa, with traffic that is largely domestic and shaped by humanitarian activity — the area hosts major refugee camps and agencies such as UNHCR. The airport has little dedicated freight infrastructure, so scheduled cargo moves through the national hub at Addis Ababa Bole and its Ethiopian Cargo terminal. By road, Gambela connects via the highway to Gore and onward to the highlands; there is no rail service. Shippers serving the region typically consolidate at Bole and rely on onward trucking.
