The first Airbus A330neo to be based in Africa will touch down in Dakar, Senegal on January 31st as originally planned, but the aircraft is not ready for passenger service and will need to return to France for further flight testing.
A source at Air Senegal confirmed that the plane will be formally presented to Senegalese President Macky Sall at Dakar’s Blaise Diagne International Airport on Thursday.

That means the return trip to Senegal served no useful purpose. Which makes me wonder if the President paid for it..but, that is another discussion....🤔
