The Business of Freedom…
Aviation is one of the key drivers of the advancement of
modern society. This is due to its ability to physically connect
individuals over a wide geographical area safely and quickly. It
is one of the key pillars to unlocking the economic potential of
any nation.
It enables several layers of activities:
• Business transactions
• Express shipments
• Cultural and knowledge exchange – ideas, education,
understanding
• Family cohesion
Aviation is key to unlocking Africa’s potential

Why does fragmentation persist inAfrican Aviation?
1. Restrictive bilateral air service agreements and
protectionist government policies;
2. Proliferation of State owned carriers leading to
African states reluctance to fully implement the
Yamoussoukro Decision;
3. Unwillingness to cooperate and/or reciprocate
amongst African airlines (winner takes all
mentality);
4. Poor airport/ANSP infrastructure and high user
charges/taxes; and
5. Under-capitalization of African Airlines and lack
of management expertise.
