Senegal Airlines

Senegal Airlines was a Senegalese national airline that operated as the country's flag carrier following the dissolution of Air Sénégal International in 2009. It was established with the goal of providing both regional African connections and international routes, positioning Dakar as a hub for West African air travel. The airline operated a modest fleet and served destinations across Africa and Europe before facing serious financial difficulties. Despite initial ambitions for expansion, Senegal Airlines struggled with operational and economic challenges that ultimately led to the suspension of its operations in 2016. The airline was eventually replaced by Air Sénégal, a new national carrier launched by the Senegalese government in 2018 to fill the gap left by Senegal Airlines' collapse and to revive the country's international aviation presence.
