Chegga is a desert strip in the far north-east of Mauritania, close to the Algerian and Malian borders, at a historic caravan and military outpost with no settlement of any size. It has neither an IATA nor an ICAO code, no scheduled service, no cargo terminal and no customs post; use is limited at most to military, government and special flights, and it has no freight role. Air cargo for Mauritania enters through Nouakchott (NKC), the country's international gateway, with Zouerate (OUZ) and Atar (ATR) covering the north.
