## Description

A single airline serves Jijel Ferhat Abbas Airport (GJL/DAAV) at Tahir on Algeria's eastern coast: Air Algérie flies to Algiers and Marseille, supplemented by seasonal charters. The airport lies about ten kilometres southeast of Jijel and is primarily a passenger facility; dedicated cargo services or on-site air freight handling are not documented. The region's more significant logistics asset is the deep-water port of Djen Djen a few kilometres away, which handles the containers, industrial goods and project cargo of Jijel province, putting sea and air unusually close together and making sea-air combinations with short pre-carriage feasible. Shippers moving air freight to or from eastern Algeria generally work through Algiers Houari Boumediene (ALG), the national cargo gateway with customs clearance and freighter traffic, while Constantine Mohamed Boudiaf (CZL) is the nearest larger alternative, reachable via the east-west motorway.
