thank you all!
Next year EuroGA “fly and surf” to Dakhla then
At the moment, GA ramps south of Morocco are only famous destinations for F-Robins or D-Gliders
G-regs (or N-regs) are more than welcome

Have you tried checking with the Aeroclub guys?
info AT aero-club-agadir.com/+212612179454 (or with Mr Jawhari from Skydiving Taroudant ra.moum AT hotmail.fr)
AFAIK they have some but I am not planning to get that far on my trip this August to Morocco
There is AVGAS (usually) in Mauritania as well which can be arranged through L’Aéroclub Saint-Exupéry de Nouakchot.
AVGAS is reported to be available in Saint Louis. There is phone contact in the AIP I will call them to confirm availability and price…
Long time I’ve been there but a friend of mine was there this winter. He used the airport as Port of Entry before continuing to Saly. He didn’t mention anything special…
Thx @Romain.
My friend has some contacts in Senegal and we were hoping they could load a barrel or two of AVGAS on a camel from Dakar to Saint-Louis.
Dakhla indeed seems to have AVGAS. Was also looking at Agadir for a nicer refuel stopover? I can plan 850 NM legs.
Did someone actually land in Saint-Louis? what kind of service and issues can be expected there? I would rather not dump the plane on the tarmac and “inchallah”.
It’s a nice place to fly. I usually avoid Mauritania if I don’t need to land there.
You will need to double check but AVGAS is available in Morocco (Southern airport Dakhla) I don’t know about AVGAS in Saint Louis as I use JET…
You will need overflight for Western Sahara, Mauritania and Sénégal. I used to ask them myself but it became complicated. I know use a agent to ask them.

Wow. I have a friend asking me to fly to GOSS Saint-Louis du Senegal. Any info from the world travellers here?
I reckon that guy is a dentist in his day job.
