The Asmara International Airport, though serving the military as well as public has thorough capacity restrictions. It has a small terminal and a short runway. The airport has a low altitude of 1.5miles and huge aircrafts cannot land on this airport rather they have to use Massawa International Airport which is another airport in Eritrea.

Facilities at the airport are limited, however including:

•  Shops
•  Cafe
•  Bank and money exchange facility

The airport is 6km from the city and one can use taxis and busses to get to the city centre from the airport. Camel caravans are also available and can be used to add spice to your experience of visiting Eritrea.

The airlines serving this modest airport include Lufthansa (LH), Egypt Air (MS) and Yemenia (IY).
