I don't know so I will post my thinking in case it helps anyone
The grass looks sort of dry but the climate is generally consistent with Southern Europe, South or Central America or Africa. Probably not green enough for Asia. It's not in a city and it looks like (from the yellow lines) a small-ish airport because there appears to be one runway with a space for planes to turn around at the end. Some hills as well. The type of tarmac helps rule out most US / Canadian airports.
So those immediately have me thinking Kilimanjaro, Paramaribo, Liberia etc., but from a look, none of them match. Quito seems too mountainous. So then I start thinking about Southern Europe, maybe Spain or France. But looking at a few Spanish ones (e.g. Valencia, Bilbao, Alicante) it seems they are all too big to fit this.
Is there a new route in Africa that I am missing?

I've tried a couple that came to mind but none fit though.
