Addis Ababa is served mainly by Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD), Ethiopia’s principal international hub and the primary base for Ethiopian Airlines; you’ll also find a mix of other international and regional carriers, with occasional low-cost options on some routes. Bole sits roughly 6–8 km southeast of the city centre, so transfers are usually short — expect about 15–35 minutes by taxi or ride-hail, or longer by public minibus; fares can be modest by local standards (typical airport taxi/ride-hail ranges are roughly 100–400 ETB). Hotel shuttles and arranged transfers are common for business and leisure travellers. Pros: relatively modern terminals, good lounge and connection facilities for hub passengers. Cons: peak-time queues and traffic can add delay, and low-cost ground-transport alternatives may be basic.

Fly direct from Addis Ababa to Riyadh for the fastest, most convenient connection between Ethiopia’s capital and Saudi Arabia — a nonstop trip that gets you there quickly and with minimal fuss. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, choosing a direct option saves time, reduces stress and offers a more comfortable travel experience, so book now to lock in the smoothest journey.

Riyadh’s main gateway is King Khalid International Airport (RUH), typically positioned as a major international hub serving both full‑service carriers and regional low‑cost airlines. Saudia usually dominates routes, with flynas and flyadeal common for cheaper domestic or regional trips, so prices can range from budget‑friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. RUH sits roughly 30–40 km north of downtown Riyadh; a taxi or ride‑hail typically takes about 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with private transfers or airport shuttles often available for similar durations and fare ranges. The airport is usually modern and well‑equipped with lounges and connections, but its distance from the city and busy peak periods can mean longer transfers and occasional congestion.
