BACKGROUND

Algeria’s civil protection service operates a fleet of small surveillance aircraft, including Zlin‑type planes, for training, rescue, and emergency missions across the country. Jijel Ferhat Abbas Airport, located near the town of Taher about 350 kilometers east of Algiers, is a key facility for aviation training and regional operations. In recent years, Algeria has focused on strengthening civil protection capabilities, especially in response to wildfires, natural disasters, and remote‑area emergencies.
