As Africa\u2019s young and growing population seeks new opportunities to travel, the region\u2019s commercial airplane fleet is projected to more than double by 2043, according to Boeing\u2019s 2024 Commercial Market Outlook (CMO).

According to the CMO, passenger air traffic in Africa will increase 6.4% annually \u2500 more than tripling the region\u2019s air traffic by 2043. This growth rate ranks Africa as the third highest among the ten regions tracked by Boeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
