Oran Ahmed Ben Bella International Airport ORN / DAOO

Western Algeria's principal air gateway and an Air Algérie focus city, serving Oran and the wider Oranie region. CORRECTED THIS PASS: coordinates were off by ~1.2 km — the draft's 35.6272/-0.6114 reverse-geocodes to an old taxiway/sports-pitch remnant of the former French air base north of the field, not the airport; verified position 35.6206/-0.6225 lands exactly on the aerodrome (confirmed via independent reverse geocoding) and matches OurAirports' published ARP. Elevation adjusted 91 m/299 ft to 90 m/295 ft to match the same verified source cluster (English Wikipedia + OurAirports); Runway length for 07L/25R (3,600 m, incl. the 60 m displaced 25R threshold) was corroborated by two independent sources against a conflicting French-Wikipedia/Wikidata figure of 3,060 m, which looks like a transposed-digit error there. Terminal history (T1 intl opened 23 Jun 2022; T2 domestic ~900k pax/yr; prior temporary domestic building closed 22 Jan 2023) is corroborated by French Wikipedia's independent account. NOT (retained from draft as plausible but unconfirmed against a primary AIP source — recommend checking against the current AD 2-DAOO chart before treating as authoritative): exact ILS/NAV frequencies and idents, runway PCR pavement values, RFF category, AD administration office hours, EGSA-Oran's precise founding-decree dates and its full 11-airport roster, the phone number, and the CY2025 passenger total of 2,445,371 (no newer full-year figure was located as of this fact-check, Aug 2026). Only the 25-side thresholds carry precision approaches — ILS CAT I on RWY 25R (LOC/GP ident 'RN' + DME CH24X) and RWY 25L (LOC/GP ident 'OR' + DME CH36X) — while 07L/07R are non-precision only, served by VOR/DME 'ORA'; AIP AD 2.23 reportedly notes bird and dog presence in the movement area (unverified).
