Agency for Aerial Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar


The Agency for Aerial Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar is an air traffic control agency based in Dakar, Senegal.
It manages 16.1 million square kilometres of airspace covering six Flight Information Regions – Antananarivo, Brazzaville, Dakar Oceanic and Terrestrial, Niamey and N’Djamena. ASECNA Air Traffic Control centres are based at international airports in each of these cities.
In July 2008, a strike by ASECNA staff in Gabon disrupted air traffic in Cameroon and elsewhere.
