The hub

Dakar, a private aviation
crossroads of the continent

Dakar sits at the westernmost point of continental Africa, a geography that makes Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS/DIAP) one of the most strategically positioned departure points for transatlantic positioning flights. The airport, which replaced the former Léopold Sédar Senghor International (DKR) in December 2017, is located approximately 47 km east of the city center in Diass and features a 3,100m runway capable of handling the full range of business aviation aircraft, from light jets to ultra-long-range platforms such as the Gulfstream G700 and Bombardier Global 7500.

Dakar's economy is anchored by banking and financial services, telecommunications, fisheries, and a rapidly growing tech sector centered around the Point E and Plateau districts. The city hosts the headquarters of the Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest (BCEAO), several regional offices of major French and pan-African banks, and serves as a gateway for investment across the ECOWAS bloc. Diplomatic traffic is heavy, with over 50 embassies and numerous UN agency offices generating consistent demand for executive and VIP charter movements.

Private aviation at AIBD is handled through dedicated general aviation facilities, with customs and immigration services available on-site. Transfer time from the ramp to Plateau or Les Almadies runs approximately 50 to 65 minutes by road depending on traffic on the RN1. Peak traffic periods around Dakar's economic forums, diplomatic summits, and the annual Grand Magal pilgrimage require advance coordination for parking slots and ground handling appointments.
