Berberati Airport (IATA: BBT) is the town's main connection to the outside world. Scheduled services from Bangui are intermittent — timing and frequency depend on the airline (currently Karinou Airlines has operated this route) and the security situation. When flights are running, the journey to Bangui takes under an hour, compared to the twelve-hours-to-several-days ordeal by road.
Check flight availability carefully before planning to rely on air transport. The airport is basic, and scheduled services can be suspended at short notice. Having a contingency plan for the road journey is sensible when traveling in this part of the CAR.
