Bourem Airport

Bourem Airport is a small, unpaved airstrip located in Bourem, a town in the Gao Region of northeastern Mali along the Niger River. The facility serves as a basic local aerodrome supporting light aircraft operations and occasional humanitarian or government flights in a region with limited road infrastructure. The airport has no scheduled commercial airline service and operates primarily as a general aviation and emergency-use facility. Its remote location and minimal infrastructure reflect the sparse population and challenging logistical conditions of the Saharan and Sahelian zone of northeastern Mali. Bourem and the surrounding region have faced significant security challenges related to armed conflict and instability in the Sahel, which has further limited civil aviation activity at the airstrip in recent years.
