Aviation in Africa, as in many regions, plays a uniquely catalytic role in socio-economic transformation. Kenya’s economy, for instance, is deeply intertwined with international mobility, spanning horticulture exports routed through Nairobi, and the tourism corridors connecting the country to markets across Europe and Asia.
