Bol-Berim Airport (OTC)

Bol-Berim Airport (OTC) is a small domestic aviation facility serving the town of Bol in the Lac region of Chad, situated near the shores of Lake Chad. The airport operates as a basic regional airfield and does not feature a formal commercial passenger terminal building. It serves as a vital transportation link for this remote part of western Chad, primarily supporting government missions, humanitarian flights by NGOs, and occasional private charters.

Facilities at the airport are extremely limited, with no on-site commercial dining, retail shops, or passenger lounges. The terminal infrastructure consists of a modest administrative structure used for passenger processing and a basic sheltered waiting area. Travelers are strongly advised to be completely self-sufficient and to arrange all logistical needs, including food, water, and ground transportation, in the town of Bol prior to their arrival.

The airfield features a single 2,620-foot (799m) asphalt runway (05/23), which restricts operations to small turboprop aircraft and private propeller planes. Due to its remote location, the airport does not publish its own meteorological data, with pilots typically relying on weather information from N'Djamena International Airport. Ground transportation to the Bol town center, located approximately 2 miles (3 km) away, is informal and generally managed via local taxis or pre-arranged private transfers.
