Gateway to Niger's historic second city.

Location
Zinder, Niger
Zinder Airport (IATA: ZND, ICAO: DRZR) is a domestic and limited international airport serving Zinder, the second-largest city in Niger and a historic trading hub in the Sahel region. The airport provides essential air connectivity for a region that is otherwise dependent on long overland routes across difficult terrain. The airport handles a modest volume of passenger traffic, primarily serving flights to and from Niamey, the national capital, as well as occasional regional destinations. Its operations are managed under Niger's civil aviation authority and reflect the limited but vital air transport infrastructure of one of the world's least-developed countries. Zinder itself is located in south-central Niger near the border with Nigeria, and the airport serves as an important link for government officials, humanitarian workers, and business travelers operating in the region.
Terminals
The airport operates with a single, modest terminal building handling both domestic and limited international passenger traffic.
