## Description

A runway able to accept Boeing 747 freighters and Antonov An-124s gives Diori Hamani International Airport, about 9 kilometres south-east of Niamey, freight reach that belies landlocked Niger's remoteness. The airport carries virtually all of the country's international traffic, with more than 20 carriers including Ethiopian Airlines, Royal Air Maroc, ASKY, Air Algérie and Air Côte d'Ivoire. Ground handling is run by Niger Summa Handling (NSH), whose cargo store offers around 1,300 cubic metres, part of it sublet to forwarders. Air freight is dominated by humanitarian and UN relief supplies and by urgent, high-value goods, while the bulk exports of this uranium-producing nation move overland by truck to the seaports of Cotonou and Lomé. Customs clearance is handled by Niger's customs administration within West Africa's CFA-franc area. Available capacity fluctuates sharply, so shippers are advised to book four to six weeks ahead.
