Financial Afrik · France · Air France permanently closes Bamako office, ending 70 years of physical presence in Mali
Confirmed the existence of a June 15 letter from Air France Country Manager for Mali Awa Traoré Diakité to local partner ATS, giving formal notice that the carrier would cease all Bamako office operations on June 30, 2026. Framed the decision as a further deterioration of Mali's international aviation connectivity, noting that Air France's suspension began August 7, 2023, after Niger closed its airspace to French carriers following its coup.
“Air France permanently closes its representation in Mali, further weakening international connectivity.”
