Dahlak West Airfield is the westernmost of the three strips on Eritrea's Dahlak Archipelago in the Red Sea and sees at most occasional government and supply flights. Terminal, cargo handling, handling agent and customs post are entirely absent, so commercial air freight is not possible here. The islands are supplied by sea from Massawa, while air freight consignments for Eritrea move through Asmara International (ASM), with Massawa (MSW) as a further point of call.
