## Description

Roughly 1,000 road kilometres of desert separate Faya-Largeau from N'Djamena, which is precisely why the oasis town's airport (IATA: FYT, ICAO: FTTY) matters. Its single 2,800-metre asphalt runway (06/24) can accept large aircraft, yet scheduled traffic is effectively nil and movements are mostly governmental, military or humanitarian. No cargo terminal, resident freight airline or handling agent is confirmed on site, and there is no verified customs post for commercial imports. Forwarders therefore clear air freight at N'Djamena International (NDJ) and truck it north, with Abéché (AEH) the other usable field in eastern Chad. For relief agencies and oil or mining contractors, chartering straight into FYT can still beat the road, provided permits and ground handling are arranged well in advance. France completed the withdrawal of its forces from Chad in early 2025, changing a military pattern that had shaped the country's airfields for decades. Dates and salt remain the oasis economy's export goods, and they travel by road rather than by air.
