Wilwal International Airport

Wilwal International Airport (HAJJ) is a medium airport in Jijiga, Ethiopia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code HAJJ or IATA code JIJ. It sits in Africa.

Wilwal International Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Wilwal International Airport sits at 5,954 ft above sea level. Hot-and-high conditions can meaningfully reduce takeoff performance in summer — planners should factor density altitude into payload and fuel decisions.

Local operations run on Africa/Addis_Ababa. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
