## Description

Air Algérie, Tassili Airlines and ASL Airlines France anchor the scheduled network at Rabah Bitat Airport (AAE), the gateway for Annaba and Algeria's industrial north-east. Most airfreight moves as belly cargo on these passenger services, since the bulk tonnage of the El Hadjar steelworks and the region's phosphate trade flows through the adjacent Annaba seaport, roughly 8 km away. The airport sits about 9 km south of the city, linked by road toward Constantine and to the national rail network. Customs clearance runs through Algeria's Douane, and forwarders often combine the airport with the port for sea-air shipments. For pure freighter capacity, shippers route via Algiers Houari Boumediene.
