Is a pan African Airline network on the cards for the region?

After a challenging 18 months post the Covid pandemic, it looks like the African aviation industry may be looking at spreading its wings again and is set to revive itself and remerge stronger through mutual cooperation.

Taking a leaf out of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and SAATM or the Single African Air Transport Market in place, both of which are aimed at the liberalisation of air transport in Africa and economic growth, Africa’s air carriers are now looking at forging mutually beneficial ties to boost intra-Africa air connectivity.

Intra-African air connectivity has remained a challenge for the region and developing a pan African network is becoming more imperative by the day, in a bid to connect more areas of the continent and to boost trade and economic activity and lift people out of poverty. This and more such topics were under discussion on Wednesday (October 13) at the popular CAPA Live series hosted by a leading resource for global aviation news and research - CAPA Centre for Aviation.
