The ForwardKeys data reveal a 13.3 per cent increase in arrivals in 2017, compared to the equivalent period last year. Egypt and Tunisia are leading the recovery after the health and security concerns of 2014-16 have begun to fade. Jon Howell, managing director of AviaDev, said: “I am very pleased to see such strong growth in air travel to Africa. Intra-African international capacity is up four per cent and domestic capacity up five per cent. “I am sure I’m not alone in that desire and I’m equally sure, if the strong growth continues, it will happen eventually.”
