Statement by Antonio Pedro, Acting Executive Secretary at High-Level side event on the margins of the 36th ordinary summit of the African Union
Statement by Antonio Pedro, Acting Executive Secretary United Nations Economic Commission for Africa at the High-Level Side Event on the Margins of the 36th Ordinary Summit of the African Union on sustainable development of air transport in Africa that was held on 19 February 2023 in Addis Ababa. In his speech he said that the meeting could not have come at a more opportune time. A time when multiple crises have exposed the vulnerability of air transport on our continent – including the COVID-19 pandemic that threatened the survival of the aviation industry, and the war in Ukraine that has led to a skyrocketing of the price of jet fuel. He added, ECA is proud to be associated with the Single African Air Transport Market. This is because it is about full implementation of the Yamoussoukro Decision for the liberalization of air transport markets in Africa – an initiative that has its roots at ECA. The Yamoussoukro Decision provides the framework for sustainable development of air transport in Africa.
