If you are on an I/D connection within Terminal 1, it should be fine however.

I/I or D/D connections at Addis are workable with the 20 minute MCT, even between terminals as long as you stay airside. As noted, they will simply bus passengers directly between aircraft without even entering the terminal.
B747-437B or others. My transit time in Add in november has been reduced to 45 mins (previously 90 mins) due to a schedule change on the 2nd sector, travelling ET in J on both legs: Cpt-Add (ET846)-Kgl (ET821). MCT at ADD for I/I on ET is an incredible 20 mins if it can be believed according to: https://www.ethiopianairlines.com/aa...onnecting-time Is 45mins realistic, and will my check bag make it? Do they still do tarmac bus transfers at ADD for int to int? Thanks

edit: Expert Flyer suggests MCT I/I is: 45 minutes
