About Ouro Sogui Airport
Ouro Sogui Airport is a small regional airport serving Matam, the capital of the Matam Region in northeastern Senegal. Located near the town of Ouro Sogui and close to the Sénégal River and the border with Mauritania, it provides an air connection point for a remote part of the country.
The airport lies about 10 kilometres southwest of Matam and operates with a single runway and a compact passenger terminal. Its role is primarily domestic, with limited or irregular services linking the area to Dakar, while road transport remains the main way to reach most destinations in the region.

For travellers heading to the Matam Region, Ouro Sogui Airport offers a useful entry point, while most long-distance journeys continue by road from the airport or from Dakar's Blaise Diagne International Airport.
