Propelled by economic growth, burgeoning inward investment, and an expanding middle class, the African business aviation market is getting bigger. But the industry could be looking at even brighter prospects if more progress could be made in clearing barriers to increased flight activity, according to the African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA).
This week at the Aviation Africa summit and exhibition in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, AfBAA leaders will meet with counterparts at the African Civil Aviation Commission and the African Airlines Association as part of AfBAA’s ongoing efforts to rationalize regulations and operating requirements across the continent. AfBAA chairperson Dawit Lemma told AIN that there is an urgent need to make overflight and landing permits easier to secure, as well as to address factors that undermine growth, such as elevated and inconsistent air traffic control charges.
