"Most of Africa's air travel is conducted by airlines from outside of Africa. However the new initiative launched this year -- <a href=""https://edition.cnn.com/2018/01/31/africa/african-union-single-air-airline/index.html"" target=""_blank"">the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM)</a> -- by the African Union which aims to open up Africa's skies could pave the way for increased African air travel. Ethiopian Airlines is the country's state-owned carrier and leading carrier by number passengers. It serves over 120 passenger destinations. It's one of Africa's largest airlines and could be set to gain from the initiative."
