The Senegalese Air Force (Armée de l'Air du Senegal) is entering final stages of negotiation for a second CN-235 aircraft with Indonesia's PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI).

These stages will cover the financing terms among other matters, with Indonesia looking to include its Eximbank as a stakeholder in the contract, representatives from PTDI told Jane's at Singapore Airshow 2020.

"We are working to get Eximbank involved in the project in line with the Indonesian government's goal to foster a community [of government agencies] that is conducive for Indonesian exports," said a PTDI representative.

Representing Armée de l'Air du Senegal in the negotiations will be an unnamed Belgian company, which is also acting as a consultant to the Senegalese government in the acquisition project, PTDI explained.
