Leopold Sedar Senghor International Airport

Leopold Sedar Senghor International Airport (French: Aeroport International Leopold Sedar Senghor ) is an international airport serving Dakar, the capital of Senegal. The airport is situated near the town of Yoff, north of Dakar. It was known as Dakar Yoff International Airport (French: Aeroport International de Dakar Yoff) until 9 October 1996, when it was renamed in honor of Leopold Sedar Senghor, the first president of Senegal.

The airport can handle aircraft up to the size of the Boeing 747 jets. In 2009, the airport served about 1,500,000 passengers.In 2007, Patrick Smith, author of the Ask the Pilot column for Salon.com, called it the "World's Worst Airport", commenting that he found there "only squalor, an unnerving sense of confinement and to some extent danger".

Construction on a replacement airport 45 km inland from Leopold Sedar Senghor has begun. Saudi Binladin Group is constructing the new airport, named after the first black African elected to France's parliament in 1914, Blaise Diagne. It should take 30 months to build and have an initial capacity of 3 million passengers a year - almost double the 1.7 million annual traffic handled by the existing airport.
