Air Senegal will offer three flights a week from 26 June to the West African country, which is next to Gambia. Flights will depart Tuesday, Friday and Sunday at 7.50am, arriving at 2.05pm. Inbound services depart Dakar at 12.15am, arriving at 6.25am.
Flights are timed to permit connections to destinations including Gambia, Sierra Leone, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Mali, Republic of Guinea and Nigeria. The carrier will use an Airbus A321 that offers flat beds in business class.
Government-backed Air Senegal is part of a plan to upgrade the country’s connectivity. Dakar’s Blaise Diagne International airport opened in 2017, replacing an older facility.
