The Senegalese Air Force’s newest CN235 has arrived home after flying from the PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) factory in Indonesia.
The aircraft arrived in Dakar on 30 March after stopovers in India, Qatar, Sudan, Chad and Niger. It was welcomed by the Chief of Staff of the Senegalese Air Force, Air Brigadier General Papa Souleymane Sarr, and the Indonesian Ambassador to Senegal, Dindin Wahyudin.
“This cooperation shows the strong relationship between Indonesia and Senegal, which has been built since the Asia-Africa Conference 65 years ago,” said Ambassador Dindin.
With ten crew on board, the aircraft spent 12 days flying from PTDI’s base in Bandung to Dakar after being handed over on 19 March. It was due to be delivered last year but this was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reports Indonesia Window.
