Aviation, Africa’s Awakening
Africa is at a turning point in its aviation development. Long distances, growing demand and economic ambition make air transport essential to the continent’s future. Despite structural challenges and past setbacks, momentum is building and a new phase of growth is emerging.
The Impasse
5 billion passengers will take to the skies in 2026. 28,000 aircraft will be needed to serve them. But congestion, environmental pressure and consumer demands are tightening the system.
Is aviation approaching a structural limit?
The Fragilities of Air Transport
What better recognition of air travel than its success and steady growth since its revival at the end of the Second World War. It has reached 5 billion passengers, $1,000 billion in revenue, around 20,000 aircraft in service and each new version is more efficient than the previous one, and the outlook is still optimistic despite the many obstacles along the way.
Can airlines dictate their law to the states?
Higher airline taxes, growing passenger demand and pressure from low-cost carriers are colliding across Europe, setting up a battle with major implications for tourism and connectivity.
Air Transport, Tension Between Carriers and Distributors
Recently, IATA, the airlines' organisation and owner of the BSP (Billing and Settlement Plan), has
further hardened its position towards travel agents. The information reported by Déplacements Pros
is important. It would seem that the tension between operators and distributors has been revived
after the period of calm that followed the collapse of air transport during Covid.
Towards the Transformation of “Low Costs”
Southwest Airlines, the benchmark of the “low cost” model, has gradually evolved toward a hybrid system as rising costs and changing market expectations reshaped its fundamentals. This strategic shift, welcomed by investors, may signal a broader transformation for low-cost carriers worldwide.
Why Do Carriers Want to Get Bigger and Bigger?
An airline is valuable not only for its economic contribution, but also because it is a powerful cultural vehicle.
These Abuses That Penalise Air Transport
All air transport customers are well aware that certain practices seem curious, even useless.
Interactions between the actors are parsimonious, to say the least, each of them wanting to preserve some small advantages over others and legislators sometimes meddle in what does not concern them.
Communication in Air Transport, Still Progress to Be Made
It is always interesting to attend international conferences, especially if, like the recent World Connect, they bring together participants from 92 countries, i.e. from all over the world. This avoids always revolving around the same subjects.
