Gateway to Ethiopia's ancient Aksumite civilization and heritage.

Location
Axum, Ethiopia
Axum Airport (IATA: AXU, ICAO: HAAX) is a domestic airport serving the historic city of Axum in the Tigray Region of northern Ethiopia. The airport provides essential air connectivity to one of Ethiopia's most significant archaeological and cultural destinations, home to the ancient obelisks and ruins of the Aksumite Empire. The airport primarily handles domestic flights operated by Ethiopian Airlines, linking Axum to Addis Ababa and other Ethiopian cities. Given the city's UNESCO World Heritage Site status, the airport plays an important role in facilitating tourism to the region. The facility is a relatively small, single-runway airport with limited infrastructure compared to major Ethiopian hubs. Operations have at times been affected by the regional instability in Tigray, particularly during the conflict that began in 2020.

The airport features a single modest terminal building serving domestic passengers with basic facilities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and Axum city center is primarily via taxis and private vehicles, as no formal public transit system serves the route.
