About Warder Airport
Warder Airport is a small airport serving Warder town and the wider Dollo Zone in Ethiopia's Somali Region. Located near the Somali border in the remote southeastern Ogaden area, it provides an important air link for a region where long-distance road travel can be difficult.
The airport sits just outside Warder town at an elevation of about 564 metres and operates a single runway, 5/23. Classified as a small airport, it primarily handles domestic and regional flights serving local community, government and aid-related travel needs.
Warder town lies only a short drive from the airport, and the journey can be made by taxi, private transfer or pre-arranged vehicle. The nearest larger airport is Kebri Dahar Airport, roughly 140 km away, which reinforces Warder Airport's role as the local air access point for this part of the Somali Region.
Because the facility is compact, passenger amenities are basic and travellers should plan for limited shopping, dining and lounge options. Despite its size, the airport remains a practical gateway for reaching Warder and nearby settlements in this remote corner of Ethiopia.
