About Teseney Airport
Teseney Airport is a small civil airport serving Teseney, a market town in the Gash-Barka region of western Eritrea, close to the border with Sudan. It is identified by the IATA code TES and ICAO code HHTS and mainly supports regional and light air traffic.
The airport sits just a few kilometres east of Teseney town centre and has a single asphalt runway of about 2,330 metres. Its compact scale reflects the town's role as a regional centre rather than a major international hub.
Because scheduled commercial flights are limited, most travellers reach the wider region through Asmara International Airport and continue by road. Teseney is roughly 350 km west of Asmara, and road connections link the town to Barentu and other parts of western Eritrea.
For passengers using the airport, ground transport is straightforward between the terminal and Teseney town centre, with private transfers, taxis and pre-arranged vehicles available for onward journeys.
