From the height it is difficult to determine the airfield and it has no landing systems and signs. European carriers have refused to land their aircrafts in that airfiled after several unsuccessful attempts accompanied by breakages. Antonov An-22 Antei already seven times flew from Leipzig, Germany to Republic of Mali bringing 250 tonnes of goods for UN mission. One flight with refueling takes around 10 hours. The aircraft is indispensable in an environment where the airfield is actually dirt so air carriers call it "King of Off Road".
