East Africa will lead Africa’s air traffic growth over the next two decades, making the sub-region the heartbeat of the continent’s aviation revival, says Kamil Alawadhi, International Air Transport Association’s (Iata) vice-president for Africa and Middle East.
Speaking at the opening of the Aviation Africa 2025 Summit in Kigali on Thursday, Mr Alawadhi said Africa’s skies are at a “crossroads,” where global turbulence meets regional opportunity, and that East Africa’s dynamism offers the clearest signal of the continent’s future direction.
