Southern Africa Correspondent, Arabian & African Aerospace
Summary
Guy covers Southern Africa for Aviation Week publication Arabian & African Aerospace. He was born in England and grew up in South Africa. He has a PhD on African airline connectivity modeling and holds Private and Glider Pilot licenses.
In the 1990s he started writing and contributing to aviation and financial publications. In 2005, he acquired SA Flyer Magazine. He has become an aviation analyst in demand by South African TV, radio and print publications.
The long-expected pilot shortage has now begun to hit home, with airlines around the world cancelling flights due to a lack of crews, particularly in those countries experiencing a strong bounce-back in air travel demand after Covid-19.
Botswana, Malawi and Zambia are some of the few countries in the world which still regulate the price of aviation fuel. This has led to a fuel supply monopoly, which raises concerns that the sole supplier may be taking advantage of their position to overcharge – and perhaps under-supply.
