In Africa, where air travel accounts for just 2% of the global market, the potential for aviation to transform economies is immense. IATA estimates that a 10% increase in air connectivity can boost a country’s GDP by 0.5%.’ A survey reported that if 12 African countries increased connectivity, 155,000 new jobs would be created, and annual GDP would generate $1.3 billion.
