One of the highest-altitude major airports on Earth, Bole International sits at nearly 2,335 meters in Ethiopia's mountainous capital. It's the primary hub for Ethiopian Airlines, Africa's largest and most profitable carrier, which has built Addis Ababa into arguably the most important connecting point on the continent for flights between Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Ethiopia's unique calendar (roughly seven to eight years behind the Gregorian calendar) makes it one of the more unusual layover stops for travelers passing through.
