Flying out of the African continent is way cheaper than flying within it thanks to high taxes, fees and charges slapped on airlines and passengers. This is according to a new report which also states that governments tax the sector heavily as aviation is considered a luxury service

On average, passenger’s fees and charges are twice as much on the continent than in Europe or the Middle East.
