Location
Djanet, Algeria
Tiska Djanet Airport, designated by IATA code DJG and ICAO code DAAJ, serves the remote city of Djanet in the Illizi Province of southeastern Algeria. Situated in the heart of the Sahara Desert, the airport provides a vital air link for a region that is otherwise extremely difficult to access by road due to vast desert terrain.
