## Description

Bassikounou sits in southeastern Mauritania close to the Malian border, in the area of the Mbera refugee camp, and its airfield is a basic strip without scheduled service or freight infrastructure. It is used mainly for humanitarian and charter flights; there is no commercial cargo relevance, with no terminal, customs post or handling agent on site. The nearest regional airport is Néma (EMN), some 160 kilometres to the west, while Mauritania's international air freight moves through Nouakchott-Oumtounsy (NKC).
