Eritrea, a small country located in
the Horn of Africa, may not be the first place that comes to mind when you
think of international air travel. However, the country is home to two airports
that serve as important hubs for both commercial and private flights: Asmara
International Airport (ASM, HHAS) and Assab Airport (ASA, HHSB). In this blog
post, we will explore these two airports, the terminals they offer, the visa
procedures for crew members, and the role of aviation flight support companies
in making travel to Eritrea a smooth and hassle-free experience.
Asmara International Airport is
located in the capital city of Eritrea, Asmara. The airport serves as the
primary hub for international flights in and out of the country. The airport
has a single terminal building that was renovated in 2003 to include modern
amenities and services for travelers.
The terminal building at Asmara
International Airport features several shops and restaurants for travelers to
enjoy while they wait for their flights. The airport also offers a VIP lounge
for passengers who want to relax in comfort before their flight.
Assab Airport is located in the
southern part of Eritrea, near the border with Djibouti. The airport is
primarily used for military purposes, but it also serves as a hub for private
and commercial flights.
The terminal building at Assab
Airport is small and simple, with limited amenities and services for travelers.
However, the airport offers a unique opportunity to see a less-traveled part of
Eritrea and explore the surrounding area.
Like many countries, Eritrea has
specific visa requirements for crew members traveling to the country. Crew
members must obtain a Crew Visa before entering the country. The visa
application must be completed and submitted to the Eritrean Embassy or
Consulate in the crew member's home country.
In Eritrea, navigation fees are
required to be paid to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for the use of the
country's airspace. These fees are essential for the maintenance and upkeep of
the country's aviation infrastructure and facilities. The CAA determines the
navigation fees based on the weight of the aircraft, route, and duration of the
flight. Operators need to comply with these regulations and pay the required
fees to avoid any penalties or restrictions.

but the country offers two important airports that serve as hubs for commercial
and private flights. Asmara International Airport and Assab Airport both offer
unique experiences for travelers, and aviation flight support companies like IFPLS
