One can't hope to build a regional aviation hub without cultivating an organic and sustained economic growth.
If one were to do so, one risks a Quixotic white elephant project that will use so much funds with no economic Return on Investment.

Mr. El-Houry talks about the government reviving Air Tanzania, that can be a good thing. But to what extent is the government reviving the Tanzanian economy for sufficiently, organic and sustainable growth to create not only enough demand for the services that are to be rendered by this project, but also to create a meaningful Return On Investment in a timely manner?
