A Transair Senegal Boeing 737-300 on behalf of Air Senegal, registration 6V-AJE performing flight R2-3043/HC-301 from Dakar (Senegal) to Bamako (Mali) with 78 passengers and 6 crew, was accelerating for takeoff from Dakar's runway 01 at about 04:30L (04:30Z) when the crew rejected takeoff due to a hydraulic defect but veered left off the runway. The aircraft came to a stop on soft ground next to the Presidential Pavillion, the left wing briefly caught fire. All occupants evacuated via slides, there are reports of 10 minor injuries amongst the passengers and minor injuries of one of the pilots.
An Air Senegal Flight HC-2009 from Abidjan (Ivory Coast) to Dakar (Senegal), was in the initial descent towards Dakar at about 04:37Z when the aircraft turned around and diverted to Banjul (Gambia).
Senegal's Transport Minister said, Air Senegal's flight HC-301 operated by Transair was taking off for Mali when it skidded off the runway causing minor injuries to 10 passengers and one pilot. The injured were taken to a hospital, the others to a hotel.
On May 22nd 2024 Senegal's BEA reported the occurrence was rated an accident. There had been 4 serious and 7 minor injuries, the aircraft was destroyed in the runway excursion.
Senegal's BEA released an intermediate report in French stating that the aircraft had already rejected takeoff 12 minutes earlier, then attempted another takeoff but overran the runway. Both takeoff attempts were rejected at speeds above V1. The FMS did not provide details about a detected fuel anomaly in the center and left main tanks. No malfunction were detected in the elevator feel system. Analysis of the FDR data suggest that the CG may have been further forward and the gross weight may have been greater than calculated. All aircraft systems worked as expected.
