The Free Route Airspace (FRA) initiative was identified as one of the projects during the first African Aviation Sustainability Laboratory hosted by #AFRAA in June 2022. FRA allows airlines to plan routes freely between defined entry and exit points, leading to significant cost savings, shorter travel times and reduced CO2 emissions. So far 6 AFRAA member airlines have joined the FRA trials. These include: Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, Royal Air Maroc, EGYPTAIR, RwandAir Ltd and Airlink. Several trials have already been conducted thus providing, critical data, showcasing promising results (i.e. reduced flight time, reduced fuel burn and lower Co2 emissions). This initiative is poised to enhance Africa's air navigation efficiency and environmental sustainability, benefiting both airlines and passengers. Implementing the #FRA is a major step towards transforming the African aviation market, paving the way for a more efficient and eco-friendly future.  #BetterSkiesForAfrica
