## Description

Bakel grew around a 19th-century French river fort on the upper Senegal, a trading outpost on the route inland toward Mali. Its small airport sees little scheduled traffic and serves mainly occasional regional and special flights. No commercial cargo handling is offered here; the region's airfreight is consolidated at Blaise Diagne (DSS) near Dakar. For logistics, Bakel is best understood as a remote passenger strip rather than a freight point.
