Dakar-Yoff-Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport is an international air facility in Dakar, Senegal. Its IATA Airport Code is DKR.
The unusually long named airport, the most significant airport in Senegal, can handle airplanes up to the size of the Boeing 747 jets. It used to be one of the five main hubs of the now defunct multi-national airline, Air Afrique. The airport was named after Léopold Sédar Senghor, a well-known poet who served as president of Senegal from 1960 to 1980.
