Airport contact
One of Sub-Saharan Africa's busiest hubs, running close behind (and by some 2025 counts neck-and-neck with) Johannesburg's OR Tambo for the continental traffic lead, and the sole home base of Ethiopian Airlines, which uses it as the pivot for its Africa-Asia-Europe-Americas network; a planned new mega-airport (Abusera International Airport, near Bishoftu/Dukem) is intended to relieve ADD's capacity constraints, with initial phases targeted for around 2029-2030.

Aviation security
Unconfirmed
Ethiopian Airports Enterprise
Confirmed as a core Ethiopian Airlines Group business unit mandated for airport infrastructure and services at Bole International (per its own corporate/LinkedIn pages), but the entity that passed the July 2023 US TSA aviation-security audit at ADD is named in press coverage as the "Ethiopian Aviation Security Department" specifically; whether that department sits inside Ethiopian Airports Enterprise or is a separate ETCAA/national body could not be confirmed, so the terminal-security-screening link stays unconfirmed.
