AviaDev Insight Africa

Listen Later

This podcast was recorded on 18th October in Dakar, Senegal, where I was attending the ACI Africa Annual General Assembly. 

Senegal is also the home base of the African Civil Aviation Commission or AFCAC who have been very visible and busy sensitising stakeholders in terms of the benefits of the single African air transport market. In June at AviaDev, AFCAC and AviaDev signed an MoU to support each other in the fields of communication and route development. 

In this episode, Adefunke Adeyemi, Secretary General, AFCAC and I discuss:

  • Status update. What is the current state of progress?
  • How do you respond to airline CEOs who don't necessarily support SAATM?
  • Have there been new intra-African routes launched that may not have happened before SAATM?
  • Have AFCAC been successful in solving market access disputes?
  • Are AFCAC lobbying for visa reform?
  • The goals and objectives of the next 2 years
