About Bouar Airport
Bouar Airport is a small airfield serving Bouar, a town in the Nana-Mambéré prefecture of western Central African Republic. It is used mainly for domestic, humanitarian and charter flights, including operations by organizations such as UNHAS and MINUSCA, rather than scheduled commercial services.
The airfield sits about 6 km east-northeast of Bouar at an elevation of roughly 1,024 metres. Its single runway, 17/35, is about 1,956 metres long and 30 metres wide, with a laterite surface and asphalt at both ends. Operations are generally limited to daylight and visual flight conditions.
The airport has no dedicated passenger terminal building, and formal customs or immigration facilities are not available. Passengers and cargo are handled on site by the operating organization, so travelers should confirm all arrangements with their flight operator before departure.
Ground access to Bouar is by road, with private transfers, taxis and pre-arranged vehicles providing the main onward connections to the town and surrounding areas. Travelers should allow flexible time for the journey, as local road conditions can vary.
