## Description

The code MUW belongs to Ghriss Airport (ICAO DAOV), the airfield serving Mascara in north-western Algeria, roughly 20 kilometres south of the city. Air Algérie provides the schedule here, essentially domestic services towards Algiers, and the traffic is passenger-driven. No cargo terminal, cold-chain facility or dangerous-goods handling is confirmed at MUW; freight appears only as belly capacity on passenger aircraft. Oran Ahmed Ben Bella (ORN), Algeria's second-largest airport some 100 road kilometres to the north-west, has a dedicated freight terminal with customs clearance, Air Algérie Cargo services and international ground handling, so that is where forwarders consolidate regional shipments. In practice this means road pre-carriage to Oran, clearance at ORN, then the main leg to Europe or across North Africa. MUW therefore works as a regional feeder, useful for passenger access to the Mascara plains rather than as an air cargo point.
