The new Bishoftu International Airport, currently under construction 40 km from Addis Ababa at an elevation of 1,910 meters above sea level, is designed to handle up to 110 million passengers annually at full master plan capacity, 4.4 times the passenger capacity of the current Bole International Airport.
This landmark project is taking shape through round-the-clock efforts, positioning Ethiopia among the world’s leading aviation hubs while strengthening connectivity across Africa and beyond through the continental pride and our national flag carrier, Ethiopian Airlines.

I was honored to lead a constructive discussion aimed at enhancing private sector participation in international and continental summits and conferences to be hosted in Our Country-Ethiopia.
The meeting brought together private transport investors in order to focus on establishing adequate, reliable, and high-quality transport services during major events we host in Addis Ababa. Such collaborative efforts are essential for building a positive national image and fostering sustainable, long-term capacity within our transport sector.
Beyond their profound diplomatic significance, such major international summits and conferences play a pivotal role in boosting tourism and driving the national economy. Recognizing this, our Ministry—in close coordination with the Ministry of Transport and Logistics and other key stakeholders—will continue to provide the necessary support to ensure private investors play a leading role in the transport and logistics landscape.
"The Green Legacy season is upon us. With more than eight billion seedlings raised and ready for planting, let us plant hope for a greener tomorrow." Dr @AbiyAhmedAli said.
