Gateway to Algeria's Saharan southeast and Tassili n'Ajjer.

Location
Illizi, Algeria
Illizi Takhamalt Airport (IATA: VVZ, ICAO: DAAP) serves the city of Illizi in southeastern Algeria, a remote region bordering Libya and Niger. The airport provides essential air connectivity for a city that is otherwise difficult to reach due to its deep Saharan location. The airport primarily supports domestic routes connecting Illizi to Algiers and other Algerian cities, serving government workers, oil industry personnel, and tourists visiting the nearby Tassili n'Ajjer National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its prehistoric rock art and dramatic sandstone formations. Operations are relatively modest given the small population of Illizi, and the airport is managed under Algeria's national civil aviation authority. It plays a strategic role in supporting the energy sector, as the surrounding region contains significant hydrocarbon reserves.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to low passenger volumes typical of a remote regional Saharan facility.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to Illizi city center is limited, with taxis being the main available option.
