Please read the article very careful. Here are some indirect benefits from this agreement:
- The open skies treaty which was signed on Monday at the just concluded African Union Summit on governance in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia is set to make it easier for Africans to visit African countries without the hassle of long paperwork-laden visa applications or expensive, long-winding air travel and will inadvertently boost the continent’s economy.
- According to the International Air Transport Association, an open air policy in Africa will add $1.3 billion (Sh136 billion) to the continent’s gross domestic product every year and create 150,000 additional jobs.
There is no need to wait until ATCL has 20 Aircrafts (as you said) We can take advantage of this agreement indirectly instead of waiting few more years which can be 5, 10 or more years to reach that magic number of 20 aircrafts.
