Sister Jabou ,
Thanks for your comments. GIA has just started a co
share flight with Capverdi airlines covering Banjul=
Dakar and if my memory serves me right they are also
doing other cities in the sub- region. As confirm the
issue of reduction of taxes is an important factor
that we should review seriously with a view of
attracting more airlines to come to the Gambia .
