State any four problems facing air transport in Africa

Answer Text:
- African governments do not have adequate capital for modern transport equipment/system.
- Stiff competition from well-established air lines in the developed countries.
- High insurance cost of planes discourages investment in air transport.
- Mismanagement of African national air lines incur huge losses.
- Some regions in Africa are not served by direct flights and thus increases the cost of travelling to passengers.
- Small/low volume of passengers and cargo makes it expensive for some airlines to operate.
- Insecurity in some parts of Africa is also discouraging the use of air transport
