## Description

Ethiopian Airlines is the only carrier at Gondar (GDQ/HAGN) near Azezo, operating roughly 42 scheduled flights a week, all domestic, at an airport with no cargo terminal and no customs post. Routes run to Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar and Lalibela, and traffic is overwhelmingly tourism-driven: Gondar's Fasil Ghebbi castle compound and the approach to the Simien Mountains. Air freight for the region is handled at the national hub Addis Ababa Bole (ADD) and its Ethiopian Cargo terminal, some 730 road kilometres south. The overland leg runs via Bahir Dar and Debre Markos; there is no rail connection. Security is the practical constraint: the conflict between government forces and Fano militias in the Amhara region continued through 2025, with aid agencies reporting severely restricted access and abductions in the North Gondar zone. That directly affects road transport, insurability and transit times, so shipments should be planned with contingency. Bahir Dar (BJR), about 180 kilometres south, is the nearest alternative field and likewise has no freight infrastructure.
