Air Madagascar Flight to Paris Instead Drops Off President in Senegal

May 29th, 2009 | By Jared Blank

An Air Madagascar flight from Madagascar to Paris made an unexpected detour to Dakar, Senegal, to drop off Madagascar’s President who, for whatever reason, was on board the commercial flight.  Passengers were told about the extremely out-of-the-way detour upon boarding the flight, even though the airline knew about it well in advance.  The flight arrived in Paris 9 hours late.
