Faya-Largeau Airport (FYT/FTTY) serves Faya-Largeau, the largest oasis town in northern Chad’s Borkou Region.

The airport has a paved runway and handles mainly domestic, humanitarian, and occasional military traffic.
💡 Local Tip
Carry enough cash in CFA francs and drinking water—Faya-Largeau has few reliable ATMs or shops near the airport, and flights can be delayed by dust or operational changes. A local contact who can confirm departures the same day is invaluable.
🚖 Getting There
There is no regular public bus service; most travelers use pre-arranged hotel transfers, taxis, or private vehicles. Confirm your pickup before arrival, as taxis may not wait at the terminal. The short road to town can be dusty or sandy, so allow extra time in poor conditions.
