Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Addis Ababa Bole International (ADD) is Ethiopia’s main international gateway and the country’s principal hub for long-haul and regional flights, frequently serving full-service carriers such as Ethiopian Airlines alongside some foreign carriers. It’s located about 6–8 km southeast of downtown Addis Ababa, with taxi rides typically taking 20–30 minutes and minibuses or shuttles nearer 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; fares can range from budget-friendly shared shuttle rates to higher taxi fares. The airport is generally more comfortable and better equipped than smaller domestic fields, offering lounges, shops and car hire, while occasional congestion and security procedures can add time to transfers. For domestic travel, smaller regional airports are used, but Bole remains the main point for international connections.
Kigali International Airport (KGL) serves as Rwanda’s primary international gateway and is typically positioned as a compact, modern hub rather than a large regional transfer center. It commonly handles flag and regional carriers such as RwandAir alongside a mix of international and budget airlines, so fares can be mid-range to premium depending on season and carrier. The airport lies roughly 10–13 km (about 20–30 minutes) from Kigali city center; taxis are the most direct option and can be inexpensive to moderate, while airport shuttles and private transfers are also available. Pros include efficient immigration and a tidy terminal; cons can be limited late-night connectivity and fewer lounge options compared with bigger hubs.
