Touat-Cheikh Sidi Mohamed Belkebir Airport is a public airport located 6 nm (11 km) southeast of Adrar, the capital of the Adrar province (wilaya) in Algeria.
History Since 1922, Adrar was served by the Adrar Aerodrome, located a kilometre northeast of the commune. In 1978, construction of a replacement airport began southeast of Adrar, and works were completed by the end of 1980. It had a new 3,000 x 45 metre runway designated 04/22, a taxiway, and an apron. A Boeing 737 test flight was conducted in 1981, after which the runway was strengthened before the airport entered service. On 15 January 1983, the new Adrar-Touat Airpor officially replaced Adrar Aerodrome, and the new aerodrome was inaugurated shortly thereafter. The old Adrar Aerodrome was superseded and closed afterwards.
Facilities The airport resides at an elevation of above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 04/22 with an asphalt surface measuring .
