## Description

Two or three times a day, an Air Senegal jet lifts off from Ziguinchor (ZIG) for the short hop to Dakar, the lifeline that ties the Casamance to the rest of Senegal across the intervening strip of Gambia. The country's third-busiest airport was fully rebuilt in 2022, gaining a renewed runway, a new terminal and modern navigation equipment, yet it remains domestic-only. No freighters call here; air cargo from the cashew- and fruit-growing Casamance is consolidated at Blaise Diagne International (DSS) near Dakar. For shippers, ZIG is a passenger link whose value lies in bypassing the slow road detour around Gambia.
