Nouadhibou Airport

Nouadhibou Airport (IATA: NDB) in Mauritania, established in the mid-20th century, is a compact regional airport with a single small terminal serving Nouadhibou and the coastal iron‑ore port. As a modest but important gateway for domestic travel and occasional West African connections, it handles scheduled services, charters and cargo flights rather than high-frequency international traffic. The airport is a short drive from the city and port area, reachable by taxi or private shuttle with limited public transport options, making transfers straightforward for most travelers. Airfares can be higher than at major hubs due to limited competition, while on-site costs remain modest; Mauritania Airlines and regional carriers commonly operate here and use NDB as a local base.
