## Description

Mining supplies, government freight and relief consignments make up the little air cargo that passes through Mano Dayak International Airport at Agadez, on the edge of the Sahara where the Aïr Mountains begin. Named after a Tuareg leader, the airport mainly handles regional and occasional charter flights, the area's former desert tourism now constrained by security conditions. Scheduled links run chiefly to Niamey, and there is no significant freight operation; routine and urgent shipments are routed through the capital's Diori Hamani Airport, with heavier loads moving by road. Agadez itself, a historic caravan town with a UNESCO-listed old quarter, remains the gateway to the Ténéré desert.
