Domestic traffic overtakes intra-African travel 

Local air travel is picking up in Africa, with several carriers now reporting more traffic on domestic routes than on intra-African ones, as multiple fiscal and geopolitical challenges continue to suppress continental air transport.

The African Airlines Association (Afraa) reports that in 2024, 28.4 percent of passengers carried by reporting member carriers were on domestic flights, up slightly from 28 percent in 2023.
