Hawassa International Airport lies in the tropics at 7.10° N, 38.40° E, on Africa/Addis_Ababa time (UTC+3). Tropical airports contend with heat and humidity, both of which thin the air and lengthen takeoff runs, and with convective storms that build fast in the afternoon.
Hawassa International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 01/19, measures 9,843 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the widebody capable category: twin-aisle aircraft can use it, and narrowbodies have length to spare. The surface is asphalt. None of them carry runway lighting, which restricts operations to daylight and good visibility.
The field sits at 5,450 ft, high enough that density altitude matters. Takeoff runs stretch on warm afternoons and climb performance is weaker than the same aircraft would manage at sea level.
