OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:
- When you take into account the further benefits gained through the speed and reliability of air travel, the businesses that exist because air freight makes them possible and the intrinsic value to the economy of improved connectivity, the economic impact would be several times larger,” Steele adds.
- Whilst this report will help promote the very important role aviation has on the African continent, it also recognises the contribution aviation makes to long-term sustainable growth aimed at balancing economic prosperity with social responsibility and a reduction of environmental impact.
- “If we include indirect employment at suppliers to the industry, induced employment from spending by aviation industry employees and the jobs in tourism that air transport makes possible, this increases the regional figure to 6.
