About Aioun el Atrouss Airport
Aioun el Atrouss Airport is a small domestic airport serving Aioun el Atrouss, the capital of Mauritania's Hodh El Gharbi region in the south of the country. It mainly handles domestic flights and occasional regional services, providing an air link for travellers, officials and local communities in this part of Mauritania.
The airport is managed by the Office National des Aéroports de Mauritanie (ONAM) and operates during daylight hours only. It has a single asphalt runway, oriented 04/22, which is suitable for light and medium-sized aircraft, and a compact passenger handling area rather than separate terminal buildings.
Located about 7 km northwest of the town centre, the airport is reached by road, with onward travel typically by taxi, private transfer or pre-arranged vehicle. Scheduled public transport is limited, so most passengers arrange their own connection into Aioun el Atrouss.
Facilities at the airport are basic, with limited food, retail and passenger services. As a small regional airfield, it plays a practical rather than high-volume role, supporting domestic connectivity for the Hodh El Gharbi region.
