Nouakchott International Airport (ICAO: GQNN) (Arabic: مطار نواكشوط الدولي) was an airport located in Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania. It closed in June 2016 upon the opening of Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International Airport, 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of the city.[4] Until late 2010, the airport served as hub of Mauritania Airways.

Mauritania Airlines International was based at the airport until the closure.
