Location

Mecheria, Algeria

Mecheria Airport (IATA: MZW, ICAO: DAAY) is a small regional airport located near Mecheria, a town in the Naâma Province of southwestern Algeria. The airport serves as a domestic link for the region, which lies on the High Plateaus steppe landscape near the Moroccan border.

It is one of several small state-operated airports managed under Algeria's aviation infrastructure network. Due to its modest size and regional status, Mecheria Airport has limited published operational data available internationally, but it plays a role in providing air access to an otherwise isolated area of Algeria.
