Senegal Graduates First Locally Trained Airport Firefighters at AIMAC
Senegal’s International
Academy for Civil Aviation Trades (AIMAC) has
graduated its first locally trained cohort of airport firefighters, a milestone
that strengthens the West African nation’s aviation safety capabilities and
reduces reliance on foreign expertise. The
AIMAC, a subsidiary of airport operator AIBD SA, awarded diplomas on July 20,
2026, to 19 new airport firefighters.
