Location
Gabès, Tunisia
Gabès Matmata International Airport (IATA: GAE, ICAO: DTTG) is a regional airport serving the city of Gabès in southeastern Tunisia, situated near the Gulf of Gabès on the Mediterranean coast. It provides air access to a region known for its oasis landscapes, ancient troglodyte settlements around Matmata, and proximity to the Sahara Desert. The airport handles a relatively small volume of domestic and limited international traffic, primarily serving leisure and seasonal travelers. It operates under the management framework of the Office de l'Aviation Civile et des Aéroports (OACA), Tunisia's civil aviation authority. Due to its modest size and traffic levels, Gabès Matmata International Airport does not serve as a major hub, but it plays an important regional connectivity role for the Gabès governorate and surrounding areas including Matmata and the Djerba hinterland.
