We monitored the region around GRS 1915+105 with INTEGRAL since March 7, 2007 with one 20 ks observation performed every second revolution (the approximative separation between two consecutive observations is 6 days). During our last observation performed between May 20, 16h 59 UTC and May 20, 22h45 UTC (INTEGRAL revolution 561) a source, whose position is consistent with that of the transient Atoll Aql X-1 (within 0.5 arcmin between 20 and 40 keV), is clearly detected with ISGRI in the 20-40 and 40-80 keV mosaic images.
