Description

According to the June 2024 Airbus study, “Exploring the horizons: A study of unserved air routes to, from and within Africa,” only one in five continental airline routes in Africa are direct. This means travellers often have to route via Europe or the Middle East to move between African countries, increasing cost, reducing demand, and weakening tourism and trade flows across the continent. Professor Kaitano Dube from Vaal University of Technology was our guest.

 

Views and News with Clarence Ford is the mid-morning show on CapeTalk. This 3-hour long programme shares and reflects a broad array of perspectives. It is inspirational, passionate and positive.
