Start from 1st September.
Used to operate into there a few years ago, I hope the parking is sorted, it was always so cramped and tight.
Thank goodness it is an AB flight!
Dakar is for Africa stable, safe, well developed.
There is a new airport under construction located 40 km west of the town, 2 independed RWYs.
The Highway to the new airport is under construction, that will end the massive traffic jams on that direction.
It looks like that some airport operators speculate for a upcomming new hub for africa, look at Lome and Abuja.
Anyway... as soon as it goes to the Boeing it will become a captain t/o and ldg only (B*)... just like Addis did? :rolleyes:

Low blow there EK380. Its not the boeing captains fault that their machine doesn't handle the job as well as the bus.:E
Lets see, what version of VNAV approach is EK inventing now?:}
The Don
Come on guys why sould it be a Cap landing and take-off? Sea-level,ILS or Vor approach,what's the point? F/O can land,Cap does 180 and that's all!!!
B747,A340 are flying there for ages w/o problems...except the ones useless talks can bring:bored:...seems there is is a preference in these forums for the dark side of the moon!
