What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport (GOOY (DKR)) in Dakar, SN, ceased being the primary commercial airport for Dakar in December 2017 when it was replaced by Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS). For over six years, DKR primarily served as a military base. However, Léopold Sédar Senghor Airport was set to reopen for regular civilian traffic from January 15, 2024. Due to its recent and limited reopening for commercial flights, there is a significant scarcity of recent traveler reviews and experiences specifically for Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport (DKR) focusing on the post-January 2024 period. Information regarding overall traveler sentiment, detailed terminal facilities, security wait times, and transportation connections for recent commercial operations is not readily available in public reviews.

What Travelers Love
  • Due to the limited nature and recent resumption of commercial traffic, specific recent positive traveler experiences for DKR are not extensively documented in public reviews.
Common Complaints
  • Given the limited recent commercial operations, specific common complaints from recent travelers at DKR are not widely reported. It is important to note that before 2017, the airport was considered to have struggled with traffic congestion due to its location in the crowded capital.

As Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport (DKR) has only recently recommenced limited civilian flights in early 2024, comprehensive recent traveler reviews are scarce. Most current international commercial air travel to Dakar, and thus traveler experiences, are directed through Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS).
