West Africa: General Aviation Challenges
Why General Aviation?
General Aviation fuels innovation, trade, and development worldwide. It connects communities, strengthens industries, and drives socio-economic transformation. However, in West Africa, limited training, outdated regulations, and lack of awareness have hindered its growth. The "Arise and Fly" campaign aims to bridge this gap and unlock aviation’s full potential in the region.
