When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Bogotá and Addis Ababa don't overlap on the same weekday. Addis Ababa is 8 hours ahead of Bogotá.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 AM–12 PM in Bogotá (3 PM–8 PM in Addis Ababa) — suggest 9:00 AM Bogotá (5:00 PM Addis Ababa).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
