The airport
AIBD — practical information for travellers
Blaise Diagne Airport (AIBD, IATA code DSS) opened in December 2017. It replaced the former Léopold Sédar Senghor Airport (located inside Dakar, now closed to commercial flights). The single terminal is modern, spacious and well laid out.
The arrivals hall is on the ground floor. After immigration and baggage claim, you exit into the public area where our partner is waiting. Cash machines (FCFA) and SIM card counters (Orange, Free — around 2,000 FCFA for 5 GB) are in the hall.
Car park P1 (covered, CCTV monitored) is to the left as you exit the terminal, a 2–3 minute walk away. Car park P2 (open-air, long-stay) is further out. Your Senoto vehicle is always in P1.
Note: there is no direct public transport between AIBD and Dakar (no train, no regular bus service). Your only options are the official taxi (fixed rate displayed), a private transfer, or your rental car. That is why picking up at the airport makes so much sense.
