Location

Tindouf, Algeria

Tindouf Airport (IATA: TIN, ICAO: DAOF) is a domestic and limited international airport located in Tindouf, a remote city in the far southwestern corner of Algeria near the borders with Mauritania, Morocco, and Western Sahara. The airport serves as the primary air link for a region that is otherwise extremely isolated due to vast Saharan desert terrain and limited road infrastructure. The airport primarily handles flights operated by Air Algérie connecting Tindouf to Algiers and other Algerian cities. Given the region's sparse population and strategic military significance, the facility also serves government and military purposes. Tindouf is notable for its proximity to the Sahrawi refugee camps administered by the Polisario Front, which has made the area of geopolitical interest. Humanitarian and charter flights occasionally supplement regular commercial operations.

Terminals

The airport operates a single, modest terminal building suited to low passenger volumes typical of a remote desert facility.

Getting to & from

Ground transport between the airport and Tindouf city center is limited, with taxis being the main available option.
