Remote desert gateway serving Algeria's southeastern oil region.

Location
In Aménas, Algeria
Zarzaitine – In Aménas Airport (IATA: IAM, ICAO: DAUZ) is a regional airport located near In Aménas, a town in the Illizi Province of southeastern Algeria. It primarily serves the surrounding hydrocarbon-producing area, including the major Tigantourine gas complex operated by Sonatrach, BP, and Statoil. The airport gained international attention in January 2013 when the nearby Tigantourine gas facility was attacked by militant gunmen, resulting in a hostage crisis that claimed dozens of lives. The event underscored the strategic importance of this remote desert hub to Algeria's energy sector. Traffic at the airport is largely driven by energy industry workers and logistics rather than leisure tourism, reflecting the region's primary economic character as a major natural gas production zone.
