Is Bamako Mali airport safe?

score:3

Accepted answer

Airports do get attacked sometimes but this is the case for serious uprisings and terrorism, not usually criminality such as theft and assault since airports have permanent armed security. Even in a peaceful countries like Iceland where the police is unarmed, airport security is.

Mali is known to have safety issues but you should be relatively safe in the airport. Generally though, I try to avoid passing through similar regions in case there is an issue, forcing to stay overnight outside of the airport in an dangerous and unknown location. The risk is fairly low, specially it is the same flight going to the next destination, you are unlikely to face an issue unless there is a mechanical failure.
