Agence Nationale de l’Aviation Civile (Senegal)

The National Agency of Civil Aviation and Meteorology serves as the primary regulatory body for the aviation industry in Senegal. It is responsible for the oversight of air transport safety, security, and the development of civil aviation infrastructure within the country. Positioned as a sovereign authority, it manages the implementation of international standards to ensure the stability of the national airspace. The agency collaborates closely with the International Civil Aviation Organization and regional bodies to maintain compliance with global protocols. Its remit extends to the oversight of the national carrier, Air Senegal, and the operations at Blaise Diagne International Airport. It also integrates meteorological services to support both commercial flight operations and general public safety. Prospective partners or operators should verify the agency's current standing regarding the most recent Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme results and its specific regulatory requirements for air operator certificates. It is essential to confirm the validity of technical approvals for specific aircraft types or maintenance organisations intended for use within Senegalese jurisdiction before formalising agreements.
