Independently corroborated by 2AS Technics' own company-history page, which states AIBD line-maintenance activity began 7-Dec-2017 'sous les autorisations locales d'AIBD Assistance Services (2AS)' (2astechnics.sn). Air France outsourced its own Dakar ground handling to 2AS from Nov-2020 (airsideint.com).
