Jijel Ferhat Abbas Airport

Jijel Ferhat Abbas Airport (IATA: GJL, ICAO: DAAV) is a regional airport located near Tahir in the Jijel Province of northeastern Algeria. Named after Ferhat Abbas, a prominent Algerian nationalist and political figure, the airport serves the local population and provides connections to major Algerian cities. The airport operates a limited number of domestic routes, primarily to Algiers, and has historically handled some international charter traffic. Its relatively modest infrastructure reflects the regional nature of its catchment area, which is known for its Mediterranean coastline and forested mountainous terrain. Capacity and connectivity remain limited compared to Algeria's larger airports, but the facility plays an important role in linking the Jijel region to the rest of the country and reducing reliance on long overland journeys.
