Africa is now the second fastest growing region in the world in terms of commercial aviation, behind China – according to research conducted by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in February 2011
The Airbus Global Market Forecast published earlier this month meanwhile reported that sub-Saharan Africa alone will require at least 542 new aircraft by 2020 to meet rising passenger numbers.
