The airport is located close to town, less than 1 km from the city centre, and operates with a single asphalt runway, 06/24, measuring around 2,150 metres. Its passenger terminal accommodates arrivals and departures, while local roads link the airfield to Tahoua and the surrounding region.
Passenger infrastructure is modest. Security is provided by the gendarmerie and police, and customs and immigration are generally available on request rather than on a full-time basis. Travellers should expect a simple, regional airport experience.
