About Timbedra Airport
Timbedra Airport is a small domestic airport serving Timbedra, a town in the Hodh Ech Chargui region of south-eastern Mauritania. It provides local air connections and mainly handles domestic traffic for the town and surrounding rural areas.
Located about 2 km from the town centre, the airport has a single runway and a compact passenger terminal. Timbedra lies on the RN3 road between Ayoûn el-Atroûs and Néma, near the border with Mali, which makes the airport a modest gateway for eastern Mauritania.
Ground access is by road, with taxis, private transfers and rental vehicles connecting the airport to Timbedra and nearby towns. Nouakchott is roughly 850 km to the northwest, so most journeys to the capital rely on road travel or connections through larger airports.
With limited facilities, it serves as a practical local airfield rather than a large commercial hub, supporting travel for residents and regional movement in south-eastern Mauritania.
