Daguessa Airport is a public use airport located near Daguessa, Sila, Chad.
An airport is an aerodrome with extended facilities, mostly for commercial air transport. Airports often have facilities to store and maintain aircraft, and a control tower. An airport consists of a landing area, which comprises an aerially accessible open space including at least one operationally active surface such as a runway for a plane to take off or a helipad, and often includes adjacent utility buildings such as control towers, hangars and terminals. Larger airports may have airport aprons, taxiway bridges, air traffic control centres, passenger facilities such as restaurants and lounges, and emergency services. In some countries, the US in particular, they also typically have one or more fixed-base operators, serving general aviation.
Daguessa is a town in the Sila Region of eastern Chad, on Chad's border with Sudan.
Sila or Dar Sila is a region of Chad which was created in 2008 from the departments of Sila and Djourf Al Ahmar previously part of Ouaddaï Region.
