Africa has inched closer to achieving a seamless air travel following the move by 19 regional states to adopt an airspace agreement last week amid fears that some airlines might be adversely affected by the move because of their weak capital base.
Ministers of Justice and the Attorney Generals from Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) adopted the legal instrument on common airspace in Lusaka, a move that would see the cost of air transport decline by 25 per cent if fully implemented.
