## Description

Medicine, food aid and mission equipment make up the bulk of what arrives by air in the Central African Republic, and almost all of it passes through Bangui M'Poko International Airport (IATA: BGF, ICAO: FEFF). The country's only international airport sits about 7 km north-west of the capital and works from a single 2,600 m asphalt runway, adequate for narrowbody aircraft and mid-size freighters but not for heavy widebody cargo operations. Freight is processed on a basic cargo apron rather than in a modern terminal, with ground handling provided by a small number of operators including Menzies Aviation. Scheduled belly capacity comes mainly from Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways and ASKY, while UN and NGO charters carry the heavier relief loads. Overland, the roughly 1,500 km corridor from Douala in Cameroon remains the country's main supply artery, with transit times measured in weeks and recurring security risks. Time-critical shipments are therefore often staged through Douala (DLA) or Yaoundé (NSI) before the final leg by air.
