Today, we proudly inaugurate the new terminal at the Bahir Dar Dejazmach Belay Zeleke International Airport Terminal—a significant milestone for one of Ethiopia’s most important gateways. This project represents more than a modern terminal. Following the challenges Bahir Dar has experienced in the very recent past, it is a testament to resilience, recovery, and continued investment in the future.

The new terminal significantly enhances the airport’s capacity and passenger experience, supported by expanded aircraft facilities, upgraded infrastructure, improved access roads, and modern amenities designed to serve the region’s growing needs. Together with the urban transformation shaping the city, the new terminal positions Bahir Dar as another key hub for both international and domestic flights. It is my hope that the local community continues to safeguard its peace to reap the economic rewards of what a vibrant city like Bahir Dar offers.
