Banjul’s tourism and trade generate seasonal charter demand, much of it short hops up and down the coast to Dakar and beyond. A light jet covers Banjul–Dakar in minutes rather than a long road-and-ferry day.
Long-haul charters position through Dakar or fly direct to London and other European cities. The estimate you see already includes the aircraft’s positioning legs.
Charter in The Gambia typically uses light and midsize jets on the main paved routes, with King Air and Cessna Caravan turboprops for shorter legs and secondary airstrips. See the full Africa charter fleet guide for specifications, or how our pricing works.
