Location
Zagora, Morocco
Zagora Airport (IATA: OZG, ICAO: GMAZ) is a small regional airport located near the town of Zagora in southeastern Morocco, serving the Draa-Tafilalet region. It provides access to a remote desert area known for its kasbahs, palm groves, and proximity to the Sahara Desert.
The airport handles limited scheduled and charter traffic, primarily supporting tourism to the region. Its operations are modest compared to Morocco's major international hubs such as Casablanca and Marrakech.
