Air Senegal has committed to order nine 737 MAX jets.
When the deal is finalised, the 737 MAX order will be the airline's largest-ever aircraft purchase and its first Boeing airplane order since 2004.
The new aircraft will support the airline as it expands its network in Europe and launches new routes from Dakar to the Middle East and the Americas.
“This order is part of Air Senegal's strategy to strengthen and modernise its fleet in order to support the expansion of its regional and intercontinental network and reinforce Dakar's position as a leading aviation hub in West Africa,” said Air Senegal CEO Tidiane Ndiaye.
