The only airport in Gambia is at Yundum, built in World War II.[1] Post war it was used for passenger flights. Both British South American Airways and the British Overseas Airways Corporation had services, the former moving its service to Dakar, which had a concrete runway (as opposed to pierced steel planking).[2] The airport was rebuilt in 1963 and the building is still in use today. Yundum is divided into two (New Yundum Old Yundum).
