## Description

One runway, a recently rebuilt passenger terminal and no documented dedicated freight facility — that is the practical infrastructure picture at Sétif Ain Arnat Airport (QSF/DAAS), some 12 km west of Sétif in eastern Algeria. State operator EGSA runs the field, which mixes Algerian domestic services with routes to the diaspora in France; the modernised terminal is sized for a few hundred thousand passengers a year. Freighter operations and a dedicated cargo terminal are not confirmed here, so air freight moves as belly cargo on passenger aircraft, with limited volume and limited dangerous-goods capability. Forwarders handling planned shipments usually shift the airside leg to Constantine Mohamed Boudiaf (CZL), a little over 130 road kilometres east, or Algiers Houari Boumédiène (ALG), roughly 300 road kilometres west, where customs clearance and handling capacity are concentrated. For heavy or time-tolerant cargo the Mediterranean ports of Béjaïa (about 120 road kilometres) and Djen Djen near Jijel are a realistic sea-freight alternative. The East-West Motorway links Sétif directly to Algiers and the Tunisian border and carries most of the region's overland freight.
