Timbuktu Airport (IATA: TOM, ICAO: GATB) is an airport in Timbuktu, Mali that opened on April 15, 1961.^[1]

The start of Sky Mali's service to Timbuktu in February 2021 marked the first commercial flights to the airport since the city was captured by jihadists in 2012. ^[2]

• On February 22, 1985, an Antonov An-24V (TZ-ACT) of Air Mali crashed ~3 km from here during initial climb on a flight to Mopti, killing all but 1 of the 52 occupants. The flight route was from Gao to Bamako, with Timbuktu and Mopti as stopovers. The crash was Mali's deadliest until Air Algerie Flight 5017 in 2014.^[3]
