Combolcha

Combolcha Airport (DSE), serving Dessie and the surrounding Wollo region of Ethiopia, opened in the late 1960s and operates from a single small terminal that handles regional traffic. This compact airport is an important local gateway for northern Ethiopia, offering basic passenger facilities and quick connections by road — it sits roughly 10–15 km from Dessie with regular minibuses, taxis and private car hire linking the towns. Flights are primarily operated by Ethiopian Airlines and occasional regional charters; Combolcha is not a major hub, but it’s a convenient and generally affordable option for domestic travelers looking for cheap flights to northern Ethiopia.
