Air traffic in Senegal booming, according to ANACIM
The air transport sector in Senegal has experienced remarkable growth in recent years. According to the National Agency for Air Traffic and Meteorology (ANACIM), air traffic has seen a significant increase in terms of flights and passengers.
This expansion of air traffic is the result of several factors. First, the country’s economic development has attracted many foreign companies, which has led to an increase in business travel. Additionally, tourism in Senegal is booming, with a growing influx of international tourists coming to discover the country’s natural and cultural wonders.
Improved airport infrastructure has also contributed to this growth. Blaise Diagne International Airport, inaugurated in 2017, is a modern and well-equipped hub that attracts more and more international airlines. In addition, investments have been made to make regional airports more accessible, which encourages airlines to develop new domestic routes.
However, despite this positive growth, there are still challenges to overcome. The problem of airport saturation, particularly in Dakar, requires effective air traffic management to avoid delays and flight cancellations. Additionally, it is important to maintain high standards of safety and quality of services to ensure a pleasant travel experience for passengers.
In conclusion, the air transport sector in Senegal is experiencing encouraging expansion. However, it is essential to continue investing in infrastructure and improving air traffic management to support this growth and meet the growing demands of travelers.
