🇸🇳 Dakar, Senegal
Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport (DKR) in Dakar, Senegal, historically served as the primary international airport for the capital city. However, commercial passenger flights were largely transferred to the new Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS). As a result, DKR now primarily handles military, general aviation, cargo, and occasional charter or VIP flights. The terminal facilities, while historically designed for international passenger traffic, are no longer fully operational for commercial passengers. The layout may retain elements of its former function, but public amenities such as extensive retail, diverse dining options, and commercial lounges are significantly reduced or non-existent. Passengers accustomed to modern international airport facilities should adjust their expectations. Security procedures would be in place for any operational flights, adapted to the current usage of the airport. Travelers should note that for scheduled commercial travel to/from Dakar, DSS is the relevant airport. Any specific services at DKR would need to be confirmed directly with relevant operators or authorities.
Use DSS (Blaise Diagne) for current commercial flights.
Check airport code on ticket; DKR is legacy, DSS is current.
