About Aribinda Airport
Aribinda Airport (XAR) is a small airport serving the town of Aribinda in Soum Province, part of Burkina Faso's Sahel Region in the north of the country. The airfield is recorded in aviation listings under the ICAO code DFOY and is located close to Aribinda, with the town centre roughly a short drive from the airport.
Aviation references list a single runway of about 625 metres and limited terminal infrastructure. Some sources describe the airport as largely inactive or long abandoned, although the airfield still appears in the official ASECNA Aeronautical Information Publication for Burkina Faso.
Because of its small scale and remote location, the airport functions mainly as a regional aviation reference point rather than a busy passenger gateway. Visitors travelling in the area generally continue by road to Aribinda and nearby towns such as Djibo, with private transfers and pre-arranged road transport being the most practical onward options.
Travellers planning to use Aribinda Airport should verify flight availability and ground arrangements in advance, as facilities and scheduled services are limited.
