Air Senegal Temporarily Removes Dakar–Paris Cabin Crew Amid Cargo Allegations

Air Senegal has temporarily removed cabin crew assigned to its Dakar–Paris route amid suspicions that parcels and commercial goods were transported illegally in exchange for money.

The airline is conducting an internal investigation into the allegations. The suspected conduct has not been established as wrongdoing, and the crew’s removal is described as temporary.

The inquiry concerns the alleged use of the route to carry goods for payment, rather than through lawful transport arrangements. Details of the parcels and commercial goods involved have not been provided.

The case comes against a backdrop of earlier financial and service difficulties at Air Senegal, adding to the challenges facing the carrier.

The internal investigation is expected to determine whether the allegations are substantiated and what further action, if any, is warranted.
