Location
Ouargla, Algeria
Ain Beida Airport, also known as Ouargla Airport, serves the city of Ouargla in south-central Algeria, an important hub for the country's oil and gas industry. The airport is designated with IATA code OGX and ICAO code DAUU, and it handles both domestic passenger traffic and flights supporting the petroleum sector in the region. The airport primarily connects Ouargla to the Algerian capital Algiers and other domestic destinations, serving government employees, energy industry workers, and local residents.
