On Tuesday, 4 August 2026, a team of inspectors from ANACIM’s Flight Safety Directorate met with the designated officials of SAM AIRWAYS for an introductory meeting as part of the project to add a Falcon 8X aircraft to the company’s fleet.

The meeting enabled the two teams to discuss in detail the fleet-listing process applicable to any holder of an Air Operator Certificate (AOC), jointly establish the project schedule and ensure that the necessary arrangements are in place for its successful implementation.

This initiative forms part of SAM AIRWAYS’ ongoing development, as the company continues to strengthen its profile. According to General Madické Seck, a second Falcon 8X is also expected shortly, confirming the company’s sustained growth as one of the major players in business aviation in Africa.

Through this support, Senegal’s civil aviation authority, ANACIM, reaffirms its commitment to ensuring a rigorous, transparent and efficient process for integrating new aircraft into the fleets of Senegalese operators, in strict compliance with aviation safety standards.
