Military and government use

[edit]

The Algerian Air Force is the primary military user of the airport with several units maintaining a presence at the field. In the mid-2000s, it was extensively upgraded to serve additionally as a military base, with 10 hardened aircraft shelters, aprons, personnel accommodation and other facilities.[8] The most potent military aircraft based at Tamanrasset are the Sukhoi Su-30MK multi-role fighter aircraft operated by the 123rd Air Defense Squadron which provide fighter coverage for much of southern Algeria. A reconnaissance unit equipped with Beechcraft 1900HISAR and 350ER aircraft specially equipped with surveillance equipment operates from the base along with helicopter detachments operating Mil Mi-171Sh, Mi-24 Mk.III and Mi-26T2 helicopters to support the ground forces in the region.[9]

The airport was an alternative landing site for NASA's Space Shuttle,[citation needed] and has been used for American military operations.[10]
