About Nouna Airport
Nouna Airport (XNU) is a public-use airport near Nouna, the capital of Kossi Province in Burkina Faso's Boucle du Mouhoun region. It mainly supports domestic and regional air traffic serving northwestern Burkina Faso, with a single grass runway aligned 09/27 and measuring about 1,295 metres.
The airport lies roughly 3 km north of Nouna town centre at an elevation of about 270 metres. As a small regional airfield, it provides basic passenger handling rather than large-scale terminal infrastructure, and most travellers connect onward through bigger hubs such as Ouagadougou or Bobo Dioulasso.
Road access links the airport to Nouna and the surrounding towns, including Dedougou, the regional capital, while the capital Ouagadougou lies around 260 km to the east. Burkina Faso's time zone is GMT (UTC+0) with no daylight saving.
Although facilities remain modest, the airport's proximity to Nouna makes it a practical entry point for visitors travelling within the Boucle du Mouhoun region and toward communities along the Malian border.
