## Description

Cheikh Larbi Tébessi Airport (TEE/DABS) carries an IATA code and a terminal building, but its scheduled network consists of a single route: Air Algérie to Algiers, daily. That contrast matters for shippers, because no dedicated cargo terminal, freighter handling or cold chain is documented at Tébessa; air freight for this eastern Algerian mining region travels as belly cargo to or from Algiers and is trucked the rest of the way. The airport serves the Tébessa area close to the Tunisian border, where phosphate mining around Djebel Onk and the building materials industry generate most of the outbound volume, almost all of it moving by road and sea rather than by air. The port of Annaba, roughly 170 kilometres away, handles those bulk flows. For air cargo, Constantine Mohamed Boudiaf (CZL) and Annaba Rabah Bitat (AAE), each a little over 200 kilometres from Tébessa, are the practical regional options, while Algiers Houari Boumediene (ALG) is the country's intercontinental gateway and customs entry point. Plan a road feeder leg from ALG, CZL or AAE rather than expecting freighter service into TEE itself.
