Permit and parking

Senegal requires a landing permit and a parking slot for every private flight, to be obtained a few working days in advance, as the administration works on weekdays. We plan ahead for your weekend flights.

Getting to Dakar

Allow 45 minutes to an hour on the toll motorway. Since September 2026, the TER train also links the airport to central Dakar. We arrange your chauffeur-driven transfer.

Formalities

No visa for French and British travellers for less than three months. Yellow fever vaccination is recommended, and required if you arrive from a country at risk.
