At the recent 19th Meeting of Director Generals of Civil Aviation and Airports Authorities of the East African Communities (EAC), partner states were urged to accelerate regulations, to liberalise the air transport market to boost regional integration and economic growth.
Liberalisation of the regional market has been in the plans since 2006 and is expected to lower the cost of air fares, stimulate demand for air traffic, connectivity, increase operation efficiency, reduce flying time and support the expansion of air transport capacities and the regional economy.
