## Description

Ethiopian Airlines is the sole carrier at Gambela (GMB/HAGM), running roughly 88 departures a month in 2026, all of them to Addis Ababa. The airport sits in the hot western lowlands along the Baro River near the South Sudan border and serves a remote region hosting large refugee camps, where agencies such as UNHCR operate; humanitarian demand shapes traffic far more than commercial freight. There is no dedicated cargo terminal, no freighter service and no customs post for international consignments, so air cargo is handled at the national hub Addis Ababa Bole (ADD) and its Ethiopian Cargo terminal, which WFP and WHO use as a humanitarian air hub. Onward movement runs by road via Gore and the highlands; there is no rail link. Shippers therefore plan on consolidation in Addis Ababa followed by several days of trucking.
