Air Sénégal SA poursuit son projet stratégique d’acquisition de Boeing 737 MAX
Following the audience granted this Friday by His Excellency Mr. Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar FAYE, President of the Republic of Senegal, to a Boeing delegation led by Mr. Anbessie Yitbarek, Vice President Commercial Sales, Air Senegal SA welcomes the progress of the strategic project to acquire Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
This meeting reaffirmed the vision of the State of Senegal in favor of the sustainable development of the national company and the strengthening of its position as a major player in air transport in West Africa.
As part of this program, the pilots who will operate the future aircraft have already begun their training a month ago. This marks an important step in the operational readiness for the entry into service of the new fleet.
The modernization project aims to strengthen Air Sénégal SA's operational sovereignty, reduce its reliance on leasing solutions, and sustainably improve its competitiveness. The chosen strategy involves consolidating the regional network before a controlled expansion into diaspora and tourism markets in Europe and the Middle East.
The acquisition of the Boeing 737 MAX will allow the company to have a modern, high-performing and fuel-efficient fleet, thus contributing to improved profitability of operations and increased service capacity.
Discussions with Boeing resulted in favorable terms, including financial support for the entry into service of the aircraft as well as a support program for training, maintenance and logistics.
Air Senegal SA, through its Director General Tidiane Ndiaye, who took part in this meeting, reaffirms its commitment to conducting this program with "rigor and responsibility in order to guarantee the sustainability of the national company and to contribute to the economic development and international influence of Senegal".
