Dakar is the main airport of the country with international standards. 190 kilometres from Dakar, is the Kaolack Airfield, which is primarily used as disengagement airfield for Dakar Airport. Other Senegalese airports are Tambacounda, Ziguinchor, Saint-Louis and Cap-Skirring. The security of the navigation in was ensured in by ASECNA (The Agency for the Security of Air Navigation in Africa and Madagascar), but since may 2008 the control is back to the Senegalese Government through the “Agence Nationale de l'Aviation Civile du Sénégal”. The HQ of the ASECNA is hosted in Senegal, but following Senegal’s exit from the organisation, it could be moved in another country.
