YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Flying has never been easier. Airlines are competing to offer cheaper fares and more routes across Europe, North America and Asia. But while connections to and from Africa have expanded, travelling within the continent remains difficult and expensive.

On this week's Next Africa podcast, Ghanabased reporter Bilal Qureshi discusses his latest feature on why intraAfrican air travel () continues to lag behind the rest of the world. Bloomberg Global Aviation Editor Benedikt Kammel also explains the challenges facing Africa's fragmented aviation sector and what it will take to make flying across the continent easier and more affordable.
