## Description

Eastern Chad's humanitarian supply chain runs through Abéché Airport (AEH/FTTC), the base from which the UN Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS), managed by the World Food Programme, serves destinations across the region alongside its bases in N'Djamena and Goz Beïda. The airport sits roughly 900 km east of the capital and is the practical air access point for the refugee camps along the Sudanese border. Commercial air cargo is effectively absent: there is no cargo terminal, no freighter service and no scheduled freight capacity — only light cargo carried on passenger and charter flights. Companies shipping into the Ouaddaï region normally clear at N'Djamena International (NDJ), Chad's national gateway, then truck eastwards on roads that can become impassable during the June-to-September rainy season. As a landlocked country, Chad draws most of its imports through the Douala corridor in Cameroon, well over 1,800 road kilometres from N'Djamena, so multimodal planning and generous transit buffers are the norm. Time-critical or high-value consignments are usually moved by charter rather than by scheduled capacity.
