Alula Aba Nega Airport

This is the international airport in Mekelle. A airport which is about 1.15 hours flight time from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. A simple airport with basic infrastructure. However Ethiopian airlines provides a convinient check in process with less hassle. Check-in two hours before flight time is very much sufficient at this airport.

This airport was built in the late 1990s to replace an older one located 7 km (4 miles) from Mekelle. The airport was named after the famous Ethiopian military leader Ras Alula, also known as Alula Aba Nega (Nega was his favorite horse, following the custom of using "Abba" plus attaching the horse's name to that of a well-known warrior's first name). He is well known (during the Yohannes Period) for his battles against Italy, the Ottoman Turks, Egypt and the Battle of Adwa (during the Minilik Period). When the airport first opened, it had one unpaved runway 3,000 metres (9,843 feet) long, with 21 flights to Addis Ababa, 4 to Shire and 2 to Humera.

very organized airport facility with a charming employees. It is a also mostly free airspace zone. The aircrafts are good. Ethiopian airlines is the mainstream service provider.
