Jinka

Jinka Airport opened in the late 20th century and operates a single small terminal, serving as the primary air gateway to Ethiopia’s Omo Valley and the town of Jinka. This compact regional airport plays an important role for tourism and local travel, with regular domestic connections—most notably Ethiopian Airlines and other regional carriers—linking to Addis Ababa and nearby hubs. The airport is a short drive from Jinka town with taxis, minibuses and occasional hotel shuttles providing the main public transport options; road connections to surrounding attractions are well established. Fares tend to be affordable on domestic routes, making Jinka a budget-friendly entry point for southern Ethiopia.
