15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Dakar to Ouagadougou use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 3 km short after reserves on a 1,746 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport has 11,450 ft and Ouagadougou Thomas Sankara International Airport 9,843 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.
