Aba Tenna Dejazmach Yilma International Airport (IATA: DIR, ICAO: HADR) is located near Dire Dawa, Ethiopia's second-largest city, situated in the eastern part of the country. The airport serves as a key regional hub connecting Dire Dawa to Addis Ababa and other destinations, supporting both passenger and cargo operations. The airport is named after Aba Tenna Dejazmach Yilma, a notable Ethiopian figure. It handles international and domestic flights, with Ethiopian Airlines operating the primary routes. The facility plays an important economic role for the Dire Dawa administrative city and the surrounding Somali and Oromia regions.
