Air Senegal to start operation soon

The aviation industry in the country is presently experiencing a considerable boom, as recognized flights, including Air Senegal, are finding Sierra Leone a profitable destination.
This, according to the Head of General Sales Agency, Chris Robertshaw, is in line with the fact that Sierra Leone is not only among the fastest growing economies in the world but also one of the best countries in the world to do business.
He said that with Air Senegal’s reliable service and safety acclaimed across Africa and the world, their arrival will contribute to local employment and increase the country’s revenue collection.
He said that they are positioned to provide outstanding services in the aviation industry that would potentially change the taste of flight experience in the sub-region, for which they will be charging a return ticket of $599 to Senegal.
Mareme Niasse, the Country Manager for Air Senegal, in her presentation, said that the flight will make its maiden landing at the Freetown International Airport, Lungi, on the 25th of February this year. She revealed that it is the first direct flight to Senegal, with an investment portfolio worth 23 million Euros.
She said that with their present operation within the sub region, including West Africa, Central among others, there is an immediate future plan to extend operations right through Africa, Europe and the Americas.
Madam Niasse said that Air Senegal is one of the fastest growing airlines in the sub- region.
He said they started with two aircrafts running within four destinations. And at the moment, the airline can boast of 16 aircrafts running between 17 destinations.
