Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>African airlines have narrowed the revenue gap almost hitting the pre-Covid-19 period due to increased travel.<\/p>\n

In August 2023, the traffic carried by African airlines reached 98.4 percent of the 2019 levels majorly boosted by local market travel.<\/p>\n

The African Airlines Association data shows that last month’s domestic market share was estimated at 34 percent, intra-Africa at 29 per cent, and intercontinental at 37 percent.<\/p>\n

However, the total number of intercontinental routes operated by African airlines for the first time exceeded pre-COVID levels since October 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201c2023 is witnessing a narrowing of the airline revenue gap attributed to Covid-19 compared to 2022. In the first 3 months of the year, African airlines missed the levels attained in a similar period in 2019 by US$0.3 billion (Sh43.8 billion),\u201d said AFRAA.<\/p>\n

The association added that this is expected to further narrow in the second quarter to $0.2 billion (Sh29 billion).<\/p>\n

In some major airports in Johannesburg, Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Lusaka, Cairo, Casablanca, Abidjan, and Lome\u0301, intra-Africa connectivity has reached or exceeded pre-Covid level since December 2022.<\/p>\n

The Associations says that though the full-year estimated revenue gap is yet to be computed, it appears 2023 would be a better year compared to the prior year.<\/p>\n

The 2022 full-year cumulative airlines revenue gap was $3.5 billion (Sh511 billion) for all African airlines compared to 2019.<\/p>\n

The Jet A1 price continues the upward trend, going up by over $22 in one month.<\/p>\n

The global weekly average jet fuel price during the week ending 25 August 2023 was up 2.9 per cent at $126.37\/bbl.<\/p>\n

In July, the average weekly price was $103.64\/bbl. The industry’s blocked funds reduced marginally in July to $2.2 billion compared to $2.274 billion in June.<\/p>\n

Some 22 countries account for the blocked funds globally. 14 of the blocked funds countries are in Africa, accounting for about 70 percent of total blocked funds.<\/p>\n

AFRAA has requested meetings with some central bank Governors and will soon meet them to agree on a solution to this recurrent problem as part of engagements to have the funds released.<\/p>\n
