DCA Poppy Khoza's insights at the Aviation Africa conference underscores the challenges posed by aero-political issues and calls for increased collaboration among African nations. She noted that Africa has more opportunities than it has challenges. “Let's work together to build a more connected, prosperous, and sustainable aviation industry in Africa”. In addition, Ms. Khoza noted that AFCAC needs to be given more “teeth” to be able to establish standards and enforce them. AFCAC must ensure that the playing field is leveled and reduce the misalignment and disintegration in the Continent on both the SAATM & the harmonisation of standards to ensure uniform implementation and improve compliance. #AVAF24
