Speaking at Routes Africa in Accra, Ghana, on a session on African Single Skies, OAG international business development manager Mory Camara said there are currently about 100 airlines operating on the African continent.
He believes that natural market forces will see the numbers whittled down, with a few dominant airlines operating across the continent.
Camara said: "We’ve got too many airlines, about 100 are registered in Africa. In the next few years we’ll probably see about four or five big airlines emerge.
"It could be like in America where four airlines have 80% of the capacity and shared 50% of the profits."
