The East African region is inching closer to a full rollout of Free Routes Airspace (FRA), with trials scheduled to end in December, unlocking more destinations, shorter flights, and fuel savings for airlines in the region, potentially cutting the cost of flying across the region.
Flights in the region currently have to follow pre-determined fixed airways, which are often longer, costing airlines more in fuel costs, which is partly to blame for the high air fares.
