Transportation from the City Center to Addis Ababa Bole Airport
Since Addis Ababa Bole Airport is located very close to the city center, it does not take long to reach the airport.
The fastest option for this journey is to take a taxi, which you can find immediately, especially in the touristic areas of the city. The blue-white taxis from two different taxi companies are private taxis, and the yellow ones are those belonging to the state-affiliated NTO (National Tour Operation and Travel Agency). They still have a negotiable price chart, as they are already affiliated with the NTO.
Private taxis, on the other hand, can ask for up to 10 times more than this price tariff. Taxis do not have a meter, so it is recommended to agree on the price by telling your destination before boarding.
Minibuses you can get on from the city also carry their passengers from the city center to Addis Ababa Bole Airport. Tickets are paid on the bus to the driver. Depending on the traffic situation, the journey takes between 10-15 minutes after the minibus takes off.
You can also go to the airport with tricycles like Tuk Tuk, which you can see anywhere and anytime in the city center, which we are familiar with from the Far East. These vehicles, called Bajaj, can easily take two passengers and their luggage. Although the journey time may take a little longer, this is not a problem as the airport is only 6 km away.
If you want to go to the airport with a private transfer, you can book this transfer online or the front desk of the hotel you are staying will help you with this.
