Can I make a 35 minutes connection at ADD on an international flight?
35 minutes is below the 90-minute international MCT at Bole International. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are physically adjacent and linked by a connecting corridor, but transferring passengers are often required to exit and re-clear a security checkpoint, and remote aircraft stands frequently require an apron shuttle bus rather than a jet bridge. International-to-international transit passengers staying airside use a dedicated transfer security lane, though this can back up significantly during overlapping bank arrivals.
How much time do I need for a layover at ADD?
We recommend at least 1 hour 15 min for a comfortable connection at Bole International. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 20 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 30 minutes).
What happens if I miss my connection at ADD?
Ethiopian Airlines' transfer desk in Terminal 2 handles rebooking for missed connections and, given the airline's dense hub frequencies, can usually place passengers on the next available flight within a few hours; passengers on partner or interline tickets should confirm rebooking authority before leaving the desk.
