The return leg uses the same aircraft and guide pricing; timings may shift up to ±10% depending on winds.
Guide prices are one-way estimates incl. positioning; taxes/handling extra. Round-trip and one-way both available.
On Abidjan–Dakar, pricing is a function of the route distance and headwinds, fuel costs across the regions you cross, and handling charges at origin and destination. We verify against current aircraft availability before quoting a firm price. International routing adds overflight permits and customs clearance to the final figure.
Private departures on this route use the following airports — we will recommend the best fit for your schedule:
Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire: Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport.
Dakar, Senegal: Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport, Blaise Diagne International Airport and Thiès Airport.

15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Abidjan to Dakar use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 94 km short after reserves on a 1,819 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport has 9,843 ft and Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport 11,450 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
Alternates within range: Alassane Ouattara Helipad · Blaise Diagne International Airport (11,483 ft, 44 km) · Thiès Airport (6,200 ft, 57 km)
