Air Senegal Pins Payment Glitches on Visa-GIM-UEMOA Link
Air Senegal traces recent ticketing failures to technical work between Visa and GIM-UEMOA.

This is a developing story. Read the original coverage: Air Senegal Visa Payment Glitch Hits West Africa
Air Senegal's ongoing ticket payment failures aren't coming from an internal system breakdown. The airline is pointing the finger squarely at a stubborn technical glitch sitting right between Visa and GIM-UEMOA.
Skip the digital checkout while this friction persists. Instead of fighting with online booking platforms that keep crashing, the carrier is telling passengers to bypass the website entirely.
If your payment won't go through online, you'll need to head straight to a physical airline agency to lock down your booking. The root problem lies in infrastructure friction across the regional network, not a failure on the airline's end.
Until Visa and GIM-UEMOA iron out the wrinkles on their shared pipeline, travelers trying to grab last-minute seats or sort out existing itineraries are stuck relying on workarounds.
If your card gets rejected at checkout, don't keep hammering the refresh button. You'll just have to sort your ticket the old-fashioned way.
