Alongside the arrival of the first doses of vaccine against Covid 19, by Air Senegal flight, the Senegalese airline company is launching its inaugural flight to Milan this Tuesday evening. The Italian city will now be served in the same way as Paris or Barcelona.

The announcement was made several months ago, before the health crisis upset the plans. But it is now effective, Air Senegal is going to launch a charter route between Dakar and Milan.

The company should offer four flights per week to Milan-Malpensa, operated by Airbus A319 which can accommodate 12 passengers in Business class and 108 in Economy.

According to the initial plan, the flights should be open for booking, with departures on Tuesday at 13:00 (arrival at 20:50) and Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 1:00 (arrival at 8:50); return flights are scheduled from Italy on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 10:20 (arrival at 14:35) and Sunday at 10:45 (arrival at 15:00).

Air Senegal will have no competition on this route, which will bring the number of its European destinations to six: Paris, Marseille, Barcelona and, if the situation improves, London and Geneva.

In Africa, the Senegalese company already present on the Abidjan and Praia destinations, should also relaunch flights to Bamako, Conakry and Nouakchott.
