Operations at the airport have been suspended, with a number of airlines, including Air France, cancelling flights to the city. It is currently unclear when operations at the airport will resume. The political situation is unlikely to improve over the near-term and current political uncertainty may renew protests and prompt authorities to reinstate travel restrictions, affecting air and road travel. As such, further disruptions to domestic and international flight services are anticipated for the short- to medium-term.   Clients are advised against all travel to Burkina Faso following a military-led coup in mid-September. Persons currently in the country are advised to update all crisis management plans (evacuation and contingency) with their security provider, from whom regular updates should be requested. Persons in Ouagadougou are advised to remain in a secure location and limit movement outside of their accommodation as far as practically possible. All street protests and concentrations of security forces should be avoided as a precaution.   Our records indicate your company does not have any travelers scheduled to fly through Ouagadougou International Airport September 29 who were ticketed through ATG.                 ATG has Customer Coaches available around-the-clock if you   need assistance with your travel plans.
