Airport Overview
The Farchana airfield is an unfenced, unprotected airfield typically used by humanitarian planes. Located near a military base, the airfield has basic security measures including a scale and metal detectors. The airstrip is unusable during the wet season as there are gullies near the airfield which overflow and flood the landing strip.
