Remote airstrip serving northeastern Mali's Ménaka region.

Location

Ménaka, Mali

Menaka Airport (ICAO: GAMK) is a small, unpaved airstrip located in Ménaka, a town in the northeastern region of Mali near the Niger border. It serves as a basic aviation facility for a remote and sparsely populated area of the Sahel, providing limited air access to a region otherwise isolated by vast desert terrain. The airport primarily supports humanitarian, military, and government flights rather than scheduled commercial passenger services. Given the security challenges in northern Mali, the facility has taken on increased strategic importance for logistical operations conducted by Malian authorities and international organizations active in the region.
