Diffa airfield (ICAO: DRZF) in the far south-east of Niger is a basic strip with no scheduled and no cargo services, used mainly for government, humanitarian and military flights in a Lake Chad region marked by lasting insecurity. There is no freight handling, no cargo terminal and no customs post, so its relevance for shippers is nil. Air freight for Niger is handled at Niamey Diori Hamani (NIM), with N'Djamena (NDJ) in Chad a situational alternative for the east of the country.
