Airport Overview
Agadez used to have regularly scheduled international flights as it was a centre for tourism. This activity ceased many years ago due to security concerns in the region. The airport has been renovated in 2017 and Niger Airlines has recently started with regular domestic flights to Agadez. They currently flies three times a week. UNHAS has currently two scheduled flights per week to the airport.
