After 11 passengers were hurt when a Boeing bound for Bamako, the capital of Mali, went off the runway, Senegal’s Blaise Diagne airport near Dakar reopened on Thursday, according to airport operator LAS.
“We inform you that Blaise Diagne international airport has reopened. Airport operations have resumed as normal,” LAS stated after the B737/300 aircraft, an Air Senegal flight chartered by privately-owned Transair, came off the runway during takeoff, leaving four passengers seriously hurt.
