African airlines grow 6% but earn just $1.30 per passenger as open skies stall

African airline executives convened in Nairobi, presenting a narrative of 6 percent growth within the sector. However, they departed facing a critical deadline related to government delays impacting their operations. Despite this expansion, African airlines are only generating an average of $1.30 in revenue per passenger. This financial performance is significantly affected by the ongoing challenges surrounding open skies agreements across the continent. Industry leaders emphasized the urgent need for swift action from governments to address these obstacles and unlock further potential for growth.
