Gondar Airport (HAGN/GDQ), also known as Atse Tewodros Airport, is a public airfield serving the historic city of Gondar in Ethiopia's Amhara Region, sitting at high elevation on the plateau south of the town. It offers a single long paved runway well suited to the thin high-altitude air, and operates as a scheduled domestic gateway linking Gondar to Addis Ababa and other northern Ethiopian destinations.
Gondar Airport, officially Atse Tewodros Airport, is a public aerodrome operated by the Ethiopian Airports Enterprise, serving the city of Gondar in the northern Amhara Region of Ethiopia. It is named after the nineteenth-century Emperor of Ethiopia, Atse Tewodros II. For a visiting simulator pilot the field is notable for its very high elevation and long single runway, making it a useful case study in high-altitude operations, as well as for its role as a domestic gateway to one of Ethiopia's most historic cities.
The airport lies at Azezo, roughly 18 kilometres south of the city of Gondar itself, in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. It sits at a field elevation of 6,440 feet above mean sea level, giving it the high-altitude performance considerations typical of Ethiopian highland airfields.
Gondar Airport has a single physical runway, 17/35, measuring 9,343 feet in length with a hard surface, and it is lit for night operations.
Ground movements at the airport are handled on a GND frequency of 121.9 MHz. The airport has no instrument landing system.
The airport takes its name from the nineteenth-century Emperor of Ethiopia, Atse Tewodros II. It lies about 18 kilometres south of the city of Gondar, which it serves.
Gondar Airport continues to operate as a public airport handling scheduled airline services, with Ethiopian Airlines linking Gondar to Addis Ababa and other domestic points such as Axum and Lalibela.
