Since the late 1980s at the airport, Naddanom conducted test flights of Russian strategic bombers like the Tupolev Tu-160 (Blackjack), as well as passenger airliners such as the mid-range Tupolev Tu-214.
The airfield is capable of accepting all types of modern aircraft, due to the characteristics of the runway.[citation needed]
