2022-09-22: On Wednesday (21 September), The Agency for Aerial Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar (ASECNA) announced an air traffic controller strike from Friday (23 September) until Sunday (25 September), but the strike could potentially continue until the demands of ASECNA are met. This could cause severe flight disruptions in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Republic of Congo, Senegal and Togo.
In case of a strike, major air traffic disruptions are to be expected. Delays and flight cancellations are likely. Before and after official strike hours, disruptions are also possible due to organisational reasons. Passengers are advised to contact their airline or tour operator about the current flight status in advance to their journey to the airport and to schedule additional time for their journey.
