Transporting vaccines from Bejing to Dakar, Air Senegal will make the longest commercial flight of an Airbus A330neo

The Casamance, named Air Senegal's A330neo type aircraft, left Rome on May 12 for Beijing, the Chinese capital, for the transport of vaccines destined for Senegal.

The plane will leave China on Friday May 14 with 300,000 doses of vaccine from the Sinopharm laboratory, donated by the People's Republic of China to Senegal.

Beyond the symbolism linked to the vaccine transport mission, Air Senegal will have the badge of honor to perform, through this operation, the longest commercial flight operated by an Airbus A330neo. 16 hours is the length of this flight between China and Senegal.
