Notes

- AFP reported on 6 September 2025 that at least six Senegalese truckers and apprentices were kidnapped near Kayes, where a jihadist group had declared a transport blockade 12.
- Port records list Malian customs representations on transit corridors, not land crossings. Mali customs lists further offices at Tema, Lomé and Cotonou 16.
- Mali reported to ICAO in 2008 on airport management. That description may have changed 19.
