Groupe Air Sénégal, operating as Senegal Airlines (French: Sénégal Compagnies Aériennes), was an airline with its head office on the property of Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport in Dakar, Senegal.[3] It operated a scheduled network in Senegal and neighbouring countries from its main base at Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport.

## History

[edit]

The airline was launched after Air Sénégal International ceased its operations in 2009, and made its first flights on 25 January 2011.[4] Senegal Airlines's CEO was Edgardo Badiali, the former CEO of GoAir and MyAir.[5] It was 64% privately owned.[5]

On 12 April 2016, Senegal's Minister of Economy, Finance and Planning, Amadou Ba, announced that Senegal Airlines had formally ceased all operations.[1] Senegal Airlines was shut down because it had accumulated over 100 billion CFA francs ($172 million US dollars) of debt since its inception.[citation needed] Senegal plans to establish a new flag carrier in the near future.[6]

On 14 May 2018, Air Senegal was launched to replace it.
