Airport contact
ATS, customs/immigration and fueling run H24, but ILS CAT I is only published for RWY 31 and RWY 34 (LOC 109.3/108.3 MHz) — RWY 13 and RWY 16 approaches are non-precision (VOR/DVOR-DME) or circling only, per AIP Algeria AD 2.DABC (frequencies not — no public non-paywalled AIP source was reachable). Latest full-year passenger figure is 1,092,491 (CY2019, EGSA-Est), confirmed directly from EGSA's own published 2011-2020 statistics PDF; traffic collapsed to 236,848 in 2020 amid COVID-19 and no newer CZL-specific annual total has been published as of Aug 2026 — EGSA-Constantine's 2025 figure of 2.8M passengers is for its 7-airport network, not Constantine alone. Corrected from draft: main terminal design capacity is 1.2M pax/yr, not ~2M (EGSA/French Wikipedia both cite 1.2M for the 16,200 sqm, 2-level terminal opened Jun 2013); and EGSA's currently published contact number is +213 31 00 00 00, not +213 31 81 01 30 — verified twice on the live official site, though the all-zeros pattern is worth a human sanity check.
