Tanout Airport is a small, unpaved airstrip located in Tanout, a town in the Zinder Region of southeastern Niger. It serves primarily as a general aviation and occasional humanitarian or government flight facility, given the remote and arid nature of the surrounding Sahel region. The airport carries the ICAO designator DRZT and has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its limited scheduled commercial activity. Infrastructure is minimal, consistent with many rural airstrips in Niger that support administrative and emergency access rather than regular passenger services. Tanout itself is a small administrative center, and the airport plays a logistical role in connecting the area to larger cities such as Zinder and Niamey when road travel is impractical due to distance or security conditions.
