Addis Ababa Bole Airport is the thirteenth most busy airport in Africa and handles around six and a half million passengers a year. Originally called Haile Selassie I International Airport it is home to a number of international airlines including, of course, Ethiopia Airlines. Adidas Ababa airport is located some five miles south east of the capital of Ethiopia Addis Ababa at a town called Bole, and as such, is sometimes referred to as Bole Airport. It hosts a number of shops, restaurants and cafes.

Just a word of warning to visitors using the airport. Whilst it is still all very shiny and new, users report that is is very expensive compared with other outlets and there are surcharges on the use of credit cards. Some users have reported that monies have been confiscated on leaving Ethiopia as the money 'belongs to the country'.
