Ask the Pilot

A filthy lobby, sullen-faced employees, no place to sit, and a vague sense of danger all add up to the World's Worst Airport.

    Hey RachelC...

    RachelC, could we get in touch? I spent the last 3 years of my life roaming between Bamako, Dakar and Ouagadougou, we may have run into each other!

    Patrick, from the slug of this article I had a feeling it was going to be a West African airport. Frankly, though, I didn't think Dakar's was all that bad. It's certainly nicer than Bamako's, though the atmosphere is decidedly different as you mention. Ouagadougou's was probably the least well-equipped, it was far too small IMNSHO.
