Airport Overview 

The Abeche International airport is in decent condition and is considered one of the top secondary airports in Chad with an asphalt runway and refuelling capacity. Despite its international status, the airport at Abeche has not received international traffic in many years. The airport is fenced off and there are potential runway incursions but, overall, the airport is in good condition and has necessary security and communications infrastructure.
