Senegal: Restrictions on landing rights for certain air carriers
Description
According to press reports the government of Senegal has forbidden the landing to the airports of Dakar Banjul (Senegal), Conakry (Guinea) and Freetown (Sierra Leone) from Brussels Airlines, Air Burkina and Air Mali.
Apparently the reason for implementing this measure is the establishment of a new senegalese airline, Sénégal Airlines, which is going to take over the routes that Brussels Airlines, Air Burkina and Air Mali used to operate.
