AFRAA head urges consolidation

The general secretary of the African Airline Companies Association (AFRAA) has urged small African airlines to merge or join regional alliance groups to withstand stiff global competition.

"We now have to push for consolidation and investment," Christian Folly-Kossy told delegates at the 40th AFRAA General Assembly in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

"The consolidation will generate economies of scale which will increase with a good participation in the negotiation project with AFRAA on fuel, computer equipment, the service on land," he added.
