Hello gentlemen,

Does anybody knows is there is some avgas available to Bamako (GABS)?
If yes, what is the price?

Thank you very much

Most of the time there is. But sometimes difficult to lay your hands on. Try contact SAS +2232229826. They might be able to give a little help (and give you a price).

Cheers

Yeah,

Mine Dog is right. The stuff is around, but it sure aint at Bamako airport. Some of the mines keep barrels of the stuff at their own strips, but you will need to arrange it through someone like SAS/CTK.

But I highly recommend you only use this option as a last resort. Most piston aircraft push onward to Ouagadougou for Avgas.

I say again: GABS does not have AVGAS (hasn't for years)

I know of a piston aircraft that ferried through there a year ago and there was Avgas there then. Price was around $2.50 a litre
