Speaking at Routes Africa in Accra, Ghana, in a talk addressing African single skies, Ghana Airport Company managing director John Attafuah welcomed the deal which launched in January Single African Aviation Transport Market (SAATM) and has seen 26 African countries sign up in a bid to open up the continent’s skies.
However, coming 19 years after the Yamoussoukro Decision in 1999 that provided for full liberalisation, he urged delegates not to let the opportunity slip through their hands again.
Attafuah said: "I hope that this time round we are going to move quickly otherwise other main airlines will take advantage."
