N'Djamena International Airport sits roughly 3 km north of the city centre, making it one of the most centrally located airports in sub-Saharan Africa relative to its capital city. The airport handles all international and domestic scheduled services for Chad, the country's sole international gateway. A single runway of 2,800 metres serves both the civilian terminal and an adjacent military installation operated by the French Air Force under Operation Barkhane.

The airport is managed jointly by the Agence pour la Sécurité de la Navigation Aérienne en Afrique et à Madagascar (ASECNA) and Chad's Direction de l'Aviation Civile (ADAC). Airlines connecting N'Djamena to African hubs and intercontinental destinations include Air France, Ethiopian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, ASKY Airlines, and Qatar Airways.

The terminal is undergoing expansion to accommodate growing passenger volumes. Facilities include car rental desks, taxi services, and shuttle transfers to the city centre. The airport's location near the confluence of the Chari and Logone rivers places it close to the Cameroon border, with the city of Kousseri directly across the river to the south.
