Participation in member conferences , committees , and task forces offers unprecedented access to a variety of airline and industry partners . The AFRAA Annual General Assembly brings together representatives from leading airlines , partners and stakeholders from around the world . To improve capacity and ensure that African carriers effectively compete in the fiercely competitive industry , AFRAA provides training in major fields such as safety , security , operations , commercial , and managerial areas . These programmes help to strengthen the capabilities of aviation industry professionals .
Eleven states recently declared their commitment to fully open their skies in conformity with the Yamoussoukro Decision ( YD ). This is very exciting because with fully open skies , African airlines can more freely consolidate through joint ventures and mergers , cross-invest in each other , and adopt other marketing arrangements that will spur growth and competitiveness . This will provide consumers and economies with the benefits of greater connectivity .
