Specialist tour operator The Gambia Experience has thanked the trade for its support after the FCO downgraded its travel advice to the country.

The FCO removed its advice "against all but essential travel" to the West African destination yesterday, stating it believed “the situation has stabilised and the possibility of military intervention is no longer likely”.

The Gambia Experience has confirmed it plans to relaunch twice-weekly charter flights to the Gambian capital Banjul with Titan Airways from Gatwick on Friday (January 27).

The FCO originally put its travel warning in place after former president Yahya Jammeh refused to accept the country’s election result on December 1, sparking the threat of military intervention from neighbouring states.
