About Kédougou Airport
Kédougou Airport is a small domestic airport serving Kédougou, a town in southeastern Senegal near the borders with Guinea and Mali. It provides a regional air link to this remote part of the country and supports travel to the wider Kédougou region.
Located about 5 km northwest of the town centre along the N7 national road, the airport has a single asphalt runway and a compact passenger terminal handling domestic flights. Recent renovation work has upgraded the runway, terminal building, taxiway, and aircraft parking areas.
Kédougou lies around 600 km east of Dakar, so air travel offers a much shorter option than the long overland route to Senegal's far southeast. From the airport, taxis and pre-arranged private transfers provide onward connections into Kédougou town and nearby areas.
The airport also serves as an access point for travelers visiting Niokolo-Koba National Park, a large UNESCO World Heritage Site in southeastern Senegal, and for onward journeys to other destinations in the Kédougou and Tambacounda regions.
