Located in an arid Sahel landscape at approximately 17.750, -12.500, it primarily handles light aircraft, charters, and occasional government or private flights rather than large scheduled commercial service.

Frequent visitors reconfirm airstrip conditions, fuel availability, and handling arrangements directly with local operators before departure, since services at this small remote field can be intermittent.

Road conditions can be sandy or rough, especially after rain, so allow extra travel time. Confirm pickup details and current access with your airline, charter operator, or local host before arrival.
