Remotely addressing the 52nd annual general meeting of the African Airlines Association on Monday, International Air Transport Association director-general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac highlighted the damage that the continent’s airlines have suffered as a result of travel restrictions imposed to counter the Covid-19 pandemic. He also stressed the danger this posed to African economies and called for the aid announced for the continent’s airlines to be disbursed. “We all support efforts to contain the Covid-19 pandemic,” he emphasised. “It is our duty and we will prevail. But policymakers must know that this has come at a great cost to jobs, individual freedoms and entire economies.”
