## Description

Ouadi Doum is a name from military history rather than logistics: built by Libyan forces in the Borkou desert during their occupation of northern Chad, the airstrip was bombed by France in 1986 and overrun by Chadian troops in 1987. It remains a purely military and state-controlled field, with no IATA or ICAO code and no civil scheduled service. There is no commercial cargo handling, no express integrator presence and no role for freight forwarders here. Shipments bound for northern Chad move through N'Djamena International Airport (NDJ) and then by road over long desert distances. For the freight sector, Ouadi Doum is effectively off the map.
