## Description

Few central-Saharan fields owe as much to a single industry as In Salah Airport (IATA: INZ, ICAO: DAUI), shaped by the In Salah Gas venture of Sonatrach, BP and Equinor. State operator EGSA runs the airport at 273 metres above sea level, some seven kilometres from the oasis town, on a single 3,000-metre asphalt runway (05/23) capable of taking large aircraft. Air Algérie links In Salah with Algiers, Hassi Messaoud and Tamanrasset, while Tassili Airlines adds services to Algiers and Tamanrasset; the schedule is driven by energy-sector crew rotations rather than general demand. There is no freight terminal, no cold chain and no scheduled freighter activity, so air cargo moves purely as belly load alongside company charters. Dedicated cargo, heavy lift and customs clearance are routed through Hassi Messaoud (HME), Algeria's oil and gas logistics base, or through Algiers (ALG). On the ground, In Salah sits on the Trans-Sahara Highway running from Algiers via Ghardaïa to Tamanrasset and on towards Niger, with trucking from the Mediterranean coast taking several days.
