## Description

The three-letter code BJA marks the airport of Béjaïa, set just 5 km south of the Kabylie coast at only 20 feet above the Mediterranean. Air Algérie, ASL Airlines France and Volotea fly scheduled passenger services to Algiers, Paris, Lyon and Marseille, while traffic swells with the summer travel peak. Airfreight here travels almost entirely in the holds of these passenger jets; shippers needing dedicated capacity route through Algiers Houari Boumédiène (ALG), the country's principal cargo gateway. For sea-borne and bulk goods, the adjacent Port of Béjaïa — a leading Algerian oil and commercial harbour — carries the heavier load via road and rail.
