๐ข Terminal Information
El Bayadh Airport (DAOY) serves the city of El Bayadh in Algeria's El Bayadh Province, positioned approximately 10 kilometers northwest of the city center at 1,366 meters elevation in Algeria's expansive desert region, featuring a single terminal building and asphalt-concrete runway 04/22 measuring 3,000 ร 45 meters. Operated by รtablissement de Gestion des Services Aรฉroportuaires d'Oran, the modest terminal facility provides basic passenger services and amenities designed to serve the regional transportation needs of this remote Saharan location where aviation represents the most efficient means of connectivity across vast desert distances.
The airport serves as a crucial transportation link for El Bayadh Province, enabling access to government services, medical care, education, and economic opportunities that would otherwise be extremely difficult to reach across Algeria's challenging desert terrain where road transportation faces significant logistical and seasonal constraints. Air Algรฉrie provides scheduled domestic connections linking El Bayadh to Algeria's major metropolitan centers including Algiers, facilitating essential connectivity for residents, businesses, and government operations throughout this isolated desert region.
Operational services focus on supporting regional development and connectivity in one of Algeria's most remote provinces, where the airport enables efficient transportation for administrative functions, emergency medical services, and economic activities across the vast desert landscape. The facility represents an essential piece of infrastructure connecting El Bayadh's desert communities to Algeria's national transportation network, demonstrating aviation's critical role in maintaining social and economic connectivity across the Sahara's challenging geographic environment where traditional ground transportation options remain limited by extreme distances and harsh environmental conditions.

๐ข Terminal Information
Touat Cheikh Sidi Mohamed Belkebir Airport (AZR) serves the city of Adrar, located in the vast Sahara Desert region of southern Algeria. This regional airport is a crucial transport link for the local community, connecting it to the capital Algiers and other Algerian cities via Air Algรฉrie, and supporting the region's economic and social needs. The terminal building is a small, functional structure, designed for efficient processing of domestic passenger traffic. Its compact layout includes integrated check-in, security, and departure areas, reflecting its role as a regional hub in a remote area.\n\nSecurity procedures at AZR adhere to Algerian national aviation regulations. Passengers can expect thorough screening of both carry-on and checked luggage, along with personal security checks before entering the departure lounge. Due to the airport's regional nature, processing times are generally efficient, though it is advisable to arrive with ample time, especially during peak travel seasons. Boarding is typically conducted via a short walk across the apron to the aircraft, as the terminal does not utilize jet bridges. The desert climate means that dust storms can occasionally disrupt flights, so travelers should monitor forecasts and protect electronics from blowing sand.\n\nAmenities within the terminal are very limited. There is usually a small cafรฉ or snack bar offering beverages and light refreshments, along with basic restroom facilities. Travelers will not find extensive dining options or retail shops. For ground transportation, taxis are readily available outside the terminal, providing convenient connections to Adrar city center. The airport serves as an efficient entry point for exploring the unique desert landscapes and historical sites of the Algerian Sahara.
