## Description

A single sealed runway at 1,453 feet is the lifeline of Tindouf, an isolated garrison town in Algeria's far south-west. Scheduled service is limited to Air Algérie links toward Algiers and other Saharan towns, with no dedicated cargo facilities on site. Beyond civil flights, the field supports military aviation and occasional humanitarian airlifts for the nearby Sahrawi refugee camps. Commercial airfreight for the area is handled through Algiers Houari Boumédiène (ALG); the giant Gara Djebilet iron-ore deposit under development could reshape future freight flows.
