Financing Africa's Skies Challenges and Solutions

Together we looked at the current market trends and sentiment. If aircraft acquisition and financing becoming more difficult and what options are open to African airlines. We then discussed fleet renewals and whether airlines are looking for improved efficiency and economics or if they simply focused on cost?

Finally, we considered how we can improve the strength of African airlines to ensure that African connectivity continues to develop and if Africa is ready to handle a doubling of the commercial fleet in the next 20 years?
