This book provides legal analysis of the multilateral liberalisation of the air transport industry in Africa within the framework of the African Union Agenda 2063 initiative, the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM).

Offering a detailed examination of the regulatory framework and policy considerations that have shaped the political economy of air transport in Africa, the book offers a comparative analysis with the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). By highlighting the need for a tailored approach to air transport liberalisation in Africa, it underscores the importance of considering the continent's unique socio-political context, diverse values, identities, circumstances, and challenges arising from its vast and varied landscape. The book proposes a principled approach to the implementation of the SAATM initiatives and calls on stakeholders to consider holistic implementation that favours the principle of variable geometry, stakeholder engagement, and alignment with Agenda 2063. It also emphasises the significance of supporting aviation policies such as safety, security, financing, competition, and environmental sustainability.

The Air Transport Industry in Africa will be of interest to researchers in the fields of aviation law, economic law, and regional integration in Africa.
