Join Phillippa Dean, Editor of African Pilot Magazine, as she speaks with African Airlines Association (AFRAA) – Secretary General Abderahmane Berthé and Maureen Kahonge, Senior Manager Business Development & Communications, during the recent African Aviation 2025 Summit held in Kigali.
The discussion covers AFRAA’s five strategic objectives for Africa’s airlines, from safety and security to financial sustainability and improved connectivity, and examines challenges such as high taxes, blocked funds, expensive fuel, and the need for infrastructure investment. We also highlight AFRAA’s advocacy work, collaborations with ICAO, IATA and regional bodies, and plans for the General Assembly in Luanda 2025, and the first AFRAA MRO Africa event in 2026.
The future of African aviation, regional integration and the growth of air transport across the continent make this a must-watch conversation.
