Positioned at an altitude of 5, 586 feet above sea level, it served the regional transportation needs of this vibrant city. Although relatively small compared to major international airports, Awasa Old Airstrip played a crucial role in connecting the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region with other parts of Ethiopia.

Over time, operations have largely transitioned to newer facilities, but Awasa Old Airstrip remains a historically significant site in Ethiopian aviation history. |
