Key facts

• Route: Poznań-Ławica Airport to Banjul
• Operator: Enter Air, as a seasonal charter
• Frequency: once a week, on Fridays

What is being offered?

The connection has been organised as a seasonal charter service within the travel packages offered by Rainbow, rather than as a regular scheduled airline route. Aircraft capacity is arranged around a tourism programme, so availability and travel conditions depend on the organiser and the specific departure date. The service is not a year-round commercial route between the two cities.

Rainbow also publishes a dedicated offer of charter flight tickets to Banjul, including departures from Poznań, so travellers may be able to book the flight alone for a chosen date without a hotel package. Even then, the purchase remains part of the organiser's charter product. Seat availability, amendment conditions and included services depend on the specific departure and should be checked before payment.

When do the flights operate?

According to the calendar published by Rainbow, flights are expected to run once a week, on Fridays, until 26 March 2027. The first flight was listed on Poznań Airport's departures board for 13 November at its scheduled time with an on-schedule status. The timetable coincides with The Gambia's main tourist season, which the country's Ministry of Public Service, Administrative Reforms, Policy Coordination and Delivery says generally runs from October to April, the dry season.

What should travellers check before booking?

Because the service is not available all year, travellers need to coordinate flight dates with the length of their stay, accommodation availability and the intended return journey. In charter programmes the return flight schedule does not necessarily mirror the departure schedule, so both directions should be checked. Poznań-Ławica Airport publishes updated departure information, while the travel organiser provides details for individual bookings.

For holiday packages, travellers should check the hotel's category and location, meal arrangements, length of stay, airport transfers and what is included in the price. If only a charter ticket is booked, accommodation, transport to the hotel and the return journey to the airport must be arranged separately unless the offer states otherwise. Baggage rules, date changes, cancellations and additional charges also deserve attention.

Travel documents and entry requirements must be checked according to the traveller's nationality and The Gambia's current regulations, including passport validity, visa requirements and any health recommendations. Rainbow lists Fathala Reserve in neighbouring Senegal as a possible day-trip destination; travellers booking such excursions should check that country's border-entry requirements separately.

What this means for travellers

Travellers from western Poland gain a direct winter option for reaching The Gambia, but only within the fixed charter window ending 26 March 2027. Anyone considering the trip should confirm whether they are buying a package or a flight-only charter ticket, verify what each booking includes, and follow official flight information from Poznań-Ławica Airport before departure.

The Gambia's Ministry report notes the country welcomes more visitors between October and April, and a World Bank publication from May 2026 states that tourism contributes approximately 20 percent of gross domestic product and around 15 percent of employment. No flights are announced beyond 26 March 2027.
