AFA are proud to announce :
South Africa is forecast to be one of the countries with the fastest-growing domestic airline markets over the next three years. This is one of the conclusions reached by industry leaders at a conference in Singapore, according to a concensus report issued by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
They expect our domestic passenger market to grow at a rate of 10.6 percent a year over the next three years, nearly twice that of the majority of countries.
They expect the international airline passenger market as a whole to grow to 3.3 billion by 2014, which means 800 million more since 2009. The biggest growth is expected to come from China, followed by by the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Domestic passenger numbers all over the world are expected to rise from 1.5 billion in 2009 to more than 2 billion in 2014, an average of 5.7 percent. But South Africa’s domestic passenger market is expected to rise by 10.6 percent.
If it does, it will be partly due to our airlines investing in new aircraft. By Audrey D’Angelo
