The Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM), as a concept, was launched more than five years ago to enhance air connectivity across the continent, inducing competition and job creations. The SAATM Project Implementation Plan (PIP) designates specific activities and roles (example - SAATM Ambassador) for industry stakeholders to facilitate consultation. "Over the next two years and beyond, African air cargo stakeholders should actively participate in SAATM PIP workshops and other activities," says Robinson. The East African Community is the pilot REC for SAATM implementation. SAATM implementation challengesCountries that have ratified are unable to advance, says Baluch.
