ASKY Airlines' CEO speaks on what it takes to run an airline in Africa.

ASKY Airlines was founded in 2007 as the African carrier to serve the West region of the continent following Air Afrique's bankruptcy in 2002. Operations began in 2010, and six years later the carrier serves 20 countries in Africa and over 10 thousand passengers weekly. Much of the success of ASKY is due to the participation of major African plater Ethiopian, holder of 40% of ASKY's stake.
In an interview with How We Made it in Africa, ASKY Airline's CEO Henok Teferra said the main challenge for African carriers is that governments pose many restrictions for air connectivity, and the industry is still perceived as a luxury industry in the continent.
At the moment, 80% of the African market share is owned by non-african carriers. The current tendencies show that air traffic is increasing inside Africa, not to and from Africa. Regarding this, Teferra said air traffic growth is directly correlated with gdp growth, so the regions growing the most economically are growing also in air traffic.
