## Description

Once a caravan capital where trans-Saharan routes from the Sudan converged, Abéché now anchors humanitarian aviation in eastern Chad through its airport (IATA: AEH). The UN Humanitarian Air Service bases fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters here, linking refugee sites such as Arkoum, Ourang and Zabout to N'Djamena and Goz-Beida. No commercial cargo carriers or express integrators operate from the field, so freight forwarders route shipments through N'Djamena International Airport (NDJ) some 800 km to the west. The asphalt runway and roughly 140,000 litres of annual refuelling capacity make Abéché one of Chad's more capable secondary fields. For shippers, its value lies in relief logistics and as a road link toward the Sudanese border rather than in scheduled air cargo.
