Dakar Blaise Diagne
Dakar shifts the study toward West Africa. Both variants remain candidates, with the larger cabin dependent on sufficient demand. The work considers heat, dust, wet-season runway conditions, diversion coverage and ground support alongside distance; a brochure range does not settle the route.
Evidence and limitations
The portfolio review identifies further evidence to obtain. End-to-end routing, current notices and aircraft-specific performance have not been cleared; this remains a research question.
Distance is not an operating range calculation. This material does not establish airport, airspace, fuel, payload or regulatory feasibility.

Data position: AIRPORT EVIDENCE SUFFICIENT FOR FURTHER MISSION ANALYSIS
Airport basic data insufficient for final aircraft suitability
What is not yet proven: 2016–2025 actual route winds, two-way validated IFR paths, OEM trip fuel and A220 runway performance.
The airport evidence makes this a research candidate, not an operating or safety approval.

Atlantic light, a creative pulse
On Dakar’s peninsula, sea air follows you between galleries, neighbourhood food stalls and the Corniche. Painted fishing boats bring colour to the shoreline; contemporary art gives another way into the city’s restless conversation.
