## Description

Few airfields illustrate the tyranny of distance better than Faya-Largeau (IATA: FYT), the lifeline air link for Chad's vast, sparsely populated north. Surrounded by Saharan sand, the oasis town sits hundreds of kilometres from any paved highway, leaving aviation as the fastest way in or out. The airport handles government, military and occasional humanitarian flights rather than scheduled commercial cargo, none of which operates here. Freight forwarders serving the region rely on N'Djamena International Airport (NDJ) followed by long-haul road transport. For shippers, Faya-Largeau is a destination to reach, not a hub to ship through.
