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.
Transportation from Paramaribo Airport to City Center
Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname, one of the countries in South America, is one of the most interesting destinations in the world with its unique culture, interesting traditions and colorful social life. The capital, which is located on the banks of the Suriname River, about 15 km inland from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, is worth seeing with its architectural structures and canals reminding of the Dutch colonial period in the past.
The city is one of the most crowded and densest trade points of the region. The city, which has close commercial ties with Europe, has been in intense trade with Europe since the Dutch colonial period.
The center connecting the city to the world and the region is Paramaribo-Zanderij International Airport. The official name of the airport in Suriname, which the locals call JAP, is Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport. The airport, which is also the headquarters of the country's flag carrier airline Suriname Airways, has a very busy passenger traffic throughout the year.
Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport is located 45 km south of the city centre. There is no public transportation option to reach the city center from the airport. There are alternatives such as taxi, car rental, motorcycle rental, purchasing a private transfer service or using shuttle vehicles to reach the city center for passengers arriving at the airport.
Taxis are the most frequently used option by both locals and foreigners visiting the city. It takes about 1 hour to go from the airport to the city center by taxi. Although roads and traffic can be stressful at times, you should get used to the system in Suriname.
Taxi fares are above the world average. Payment is made in cash only to the driver. Credit card is not accepted. Since Suriname is a former Dutch colony, there is a predisposition to foreign languages. However, before you take a taxi, agree on the destination and the price.
Many hotels have private transfer services for their guests. You can find the list of these hotels on the airport's official website.
