Béchar Boudghene Ben Ali Lotfi Airport is a regional airport serving Béchar, the capital of Béchar Province in southwestern Algeria. Situated near the edge of the Sahara Desert, it provides essential air connectivity for a remote area where road travel across vast desert distances is arduous. The airport is named in honor of Boudghene Ben Ali Lotfi, an Algerian national hero. It handles primarily domestic routes connecting Béchar to Algiers and other Algerian cities, serving both civilian passengers and supporting regional economic activity. As a relatively small regional facility, the airport plays a critical logistical role for the local population and for industries operating in the surrounding desert region, including those linked to mining and energy sectors.
