Bamako, August 2025 – Aéroports du Mali (ADM) held the 72nd session of its Board of Directors in its new headquarters, a mid-year meeting dedicated to evaluating air traffic and budget performance for the first six months of the year.

In his opening address, Chairman and CEO Colonel Lassina Togola presented the results recorded across the country’s airport platforms.

  • 8,116 aircraft movements (takeoffs and landings) were registered, representing a decrease of 11.7% compared to the same period in 2024.
