About Berbérati Airport
Berbérati Airport is a small civil airport serving Berbérati, the capital of Mambéré-Kadéï prefecture in southwestern Central African Republic. It is located approximately 4 km south of the city centre and operates mainly for charter, humanitarian and general aviation flights rather than scheduled passenger services.
The airport has a single asphalt runway, designated 17/35 and measuring about 1,660 metres by 30 metres, with an elevation of roughly 588 metres. It is used by humanitarian organizations such as WFP/UNHAS and MINUSCA, reflecting its importance for aid and regional access in an area with limited road infrastructure.
Berbérati lies close to the Cameroon border and is one of the larger towns in the Central African Republic, making the airport a practical access point for the southwestern region. Road connections to the capital Bangui are long and difficult, so air access supports essential travel and logistics.
Passenger facilities at the airport are minimal, with no dedicated terminal building, customs or immigration services, and limited fuel availability. Travelers should arrange onward transport in advance and confirm all flight arrangements directly with their operator.
