Air Senegal Dash 8 crash
The airline's dash 8-300 went off the runway landing at Tambacounda at around midnight saturday. The plane is apparently a write-off but there were no injuries...
I thought Tambacounda did not have landing lights? Anybody's got more info?
Thanks

OOOPs sorry to hear that.... and glad to hear no one is badly hurt.
Most of the experienced guys were on their way to the 737 sector so i reckon not much was left for the Dash 8 sector...

Hi,
Air Senegal International is a new company, partly owned by Royal Air Maroc. They have 2 737-700s, 1 -500 and they had till last saturday one Dash 8-300. I confirm there were no deaths or injuries...
Cheers
