SENEGAL – Air Senegal has resumed flights on several important routes after a period of operational disruptions.

The airline has restored service to Paris, Casablanca, Bamako-Ouagadougou, Bamako-Abidjan, and Conakry-Abidjan.

This restoration marks a crucial step toward improving travel reliability for passengers, businesses, and tour operators across West Africa.

Despite these hurdles, Air Senegal’s recovery signals new opportunities to promote travel, trade, and cargo across West Africa.

Sustaining and expanding these restored routes will rely on continued investment in fleet modernization, operational excellence, and customer service.
