Asmara International Airport is international-only — there is currently no scheduled domestic network within Eritrea, so every flight from ASM heads abroad. Recent scheduled destinations have included Cairo, Dubai, Jeddah, Istanbul, Juba and Port Sudan, with onward connections across the Middle East, East Africa and beyond. Route networks change, so always check current schedules and compare carriers before you book.

Asmara International Airport operates a single passenger terminal used for all arrivals and departures. Because there is only one terminal, wayfinding is straightforward, though it's still worth arriving with plenty of time before check-in, as with any single-runway international airport.
