Addis Ababa is served primarily by Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD), the country's main international hub and a major connecting point for Africa–Europe and Africa–Asia routes. Ethiopian Airlines anchors the airport alongside a mix of full-service international carriers and regional operators, while some budget and domestic flights may use secondary terminals or smaller airports. Bole lies about 6–8 km southeast of the city center; road transfer times are typically 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis and ride-hailing services commonly used and airport shuttles or private transfers available for higher comfort. Fares can be modest for local taxis and reasonable for shuttles, but travel time can increase significantly at peak hours. Pros: well-equipped international facilities and frequent connections; Cons: congestion during busy periods and occasional delays at immigration/security.
Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB), a major global hub that typically handles most long-haul and premium carriers including Emirates and many full-service international airlines, while Al Maktoum International (DWC) operates more as a secondary/budget and cargo-focused airport with growing low-cost and charter services. DXB sits about 10–15 km from the city center; metro, taxis and ride-hailing generally take 15–30 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying widely by service. DWC is farther out—roughly 35–50 km—requiring 40–60 minutes by car or shuttle and can be cheaper for budget travelers. Pros: DXB is highly connected and convenient to central Dubai; DWC can offer quieter terminals and potentially lower fares for some carriers. Cons: DXB can be busy at peak times; DWC’s greater distance may add transfer time and cost.
