Distance & flight time from ASO
Asosa Airport
Asosa Airport is the airfield serving Asosa, the capital of Ethiopia's Benishangul-Gumuz Region near the border with Sudan. The field rises 5,100 feet above sea level; one runway carries domestic flights linking this western Ethiopian town with Addis Ababa and other regional centers. The airport functions as a modest but important link for a region that lacks extensive paved road infrastructure, making air travel a practical option for reaching Asosa from the capital. Given its remote location, Asosa Airport primarily supports government, aid, and business travel rather than tourism. Its single-runway layout reflects the limited traffic volume typical of Ethiopian regional airfields.
