Gateway to Ethiopia's remote Gambela region.

Location
Gambela, Ethiopia
Gambela Airport (IATA: GMB, ICAO: HAGM) is a small domestic airport serving Gambela, the capital of the Gambela Region in western Ethiopia. It provides essential air connectivity to this remote area, which is otherwise difficult to access due to limited road infrastructure and its location near the South Sudan border. The airport operates primarily domestic routes, linking Gambela with Addis Ababa and occasionally other Ethiopian cities. It plays a vital role in supporting humanitarian operations, government travel, and regional development in one of Ethiopia's least accessible regions. Facilities are modest, reflecting the airport's limited traffic volume. It serves a small number of scheduled flights and can accommodate light to medium-sized aircraft typical of regional Ethiopian aviation.
