River and Air Transportation

Opportunities exist in this sector to improve existing services, add new services or provide services not currently available, including transportation along the Gambia river.

The Port of Banjul is the major port in The Gambia and is one of the most efficient and safest in the region. Its location, 26 miles from the Atlantic Ocean on the Gambia River, allows access to both ocean going vessels and smaller vessels which can navigate up to 300 miles into the interior (the Gambia river). Particular opportunities exist in the following areas:  

 Increased passenger air links, both direct to Europe and the USA, but also to regional hubs.
 Air cargo services
 Airport services
 Sea cargo services, both for The Gambia and transhipment to regional markets
 River transportation both for cargo, passengers and tourists.
