The Council of Ministers of Gabon recently adopted an amendment to the country’s Civil Aviation Code. The result of recommendations issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the amended Code notably plans to redefine the powers of the Gabonese Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), revise the licenses and documents issued by the ANAC and update the provisions on sanctions and fines. The timing of this draft Law is noteworthy and coincides with the recent launch of the new national airline, Fly Gabon, and the gradual establishment of a national fleet. It will be interesting to see how the new Code fits into the general provisions of the CEMAC Civil Aviation Code which is applicable in all CEMAC Member States, including Gabon. #Gabon #CEMAC #civilaviation #aviation #libreville

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is preparing to resume flights to the United States after signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to settle pending financial issues. The move is expected to help Pakistan regain ‘Category One’ status, enabling direct flights to the U.S. to resume. The suspension, which began in 2017, had halted six weekly flights. Meanwhile, PIA is also working to restart flights to the UK by March 2024, following a positive evaluation by the European Union. These developments are anticipated to boost PIA’s revenue. #PIA #AviationNews #USflights #UKflights #PakistanAviation

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and the broader aviation sector in Pakistan have endured massive financial losses of over Rs. 450 billion during the past four and a half years, largely due to travel restrictions imposed by Europe. These restrictions have significantly impacted the country’s aviation industry, creating severe financial strain. Of the total losses, PIA alone accounted for approximately Rs. 220 billion. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and other stakeholders in the sector collectively suffered losses amounting to Rs. 250 billion. The European Union’s decision to bar Pakistani carriers from its airspace was a major factor behind these setbacks, hampering operations and revenue generation. The recent decision by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to lift the suspension on Pakistani airlines is a crucial milestone. This development is seen as a significant boost to PIA’s privatization process, offering a ray of hope for the struggling airline and the aviation sector at large. #PIA #AviationSector #EURestrictions #AirlineRecovery #PakistanAirlines

#DAY1 #AddisAbeba #ASC2024 Opening the session, Mr. Mesfin Bekele , Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, warmly welcomed attendees while bringing into focus the enduring growth and the vibrant dynamics of the African civil aviation market. In his remarks, Bekele shed light on the continuous growth coupled with the significant challenges that the aviation sector on the continent faces, including: 🔸 The acute shortage of aircraft and spare parts along with a critical need for skilled professionals. 🔹 The impact of geopolitical tensions on aviation operations. 🔹 The challenges posed by high fuel prices and oppressive taxation regimes. 🔹 The complexities of blocked funds and restrictions on traffic rights, which are hurdles in optimizing operations. 🔹 Difficulty in accessing foreign exchange and the fragmented nature of the market. 🔹 The limitations imposed by existing infrastructure and the pressing need for expanded Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facilities. Addressing these issues effectively is crucial for the sustainable growth of the aviation industry in Africa, he said.

Today marks a significant day for the national flag carrier airline, PIA, in Pakistan. The challenges of running a single airline raise questions about the government's capacity to govern the 5th largest populated country globally. It's intriguing how a small group like real estate giant Blue World can acquire airlines with loans and external support, prompting reflection on the government's approach. #AirlineIndustry #Pakistan #GovernmentCapacity 🇵🇰✈️
