## Description

The code AXK marks Ataq, a highland airfield at roughly 1,140 m in Yemen's Shabwah province, primarily a link for the oil- and gas-rich interior rather than a freight platform. Civil operations are limited and erratic because of the conflict, with scheduled links — when available — pointed toward Aden. There is no meaningful air-cargo handling on site; consignments travel as belly loads, and larger freight volumes for the region are arranged through Aden. Heavy goods reach the Shabwah hinterland over the highways from the Port of Aden. Customs and inspection are the responsibility of local authorities.
