How to travel around Chad by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Chad

  • Check Chad domestic flight routes and operating days
    Royal Airways currently lists a direct N’Djamena–Abéché service as active on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, plus a triangular N’Djamena–Amdjarass–Abéché–N’Djamena service on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The page marks routes via Sarh, Moundou and Faya-Largeau as “reopening,” so do not assume they are operating. Confirm bookable dates, stops, return options and weather or operational changes directly with the carrier before travel.

Arriving from another country

  • Confirm N’Djamena arrival transfers for your airport and flight
    ASECNA’s current N’Djamena passenger-facilities table lists taxis and rental cars. Confirm the pickup point and availability with your provider for your flight; the facility list is not a reservation or an all-hours vehicle guarantee.

Use your route and fare for Ethiopian baggage on Chad travel

Ethiopian Airlines’ Chad calculator ties baggage allowance and optional baggage costs to the route, booked class or fare and limits results to Ethiopian-operated flights. Check your own sectors and ticket before departure rather than applying one result to other carriers.
