One of the initial priorities of the African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA) following its inception four years ago was the creation of the first-ever detailed report on business aviation in the continent. The State of Business Aviation in Africa provides much hitherto unavailable data on many aspects of the sector in Africa, in turn allowing commercial and strategic decisions to be based on real information. Introduced yesterday at EBACE by AfBAA chairman Tarek Ragheb (pictured), the database has been compiled by U.S. company Jetnet. A continuous update process has been implemented to ensure that the information remains valid as the African marketplace evolves.
