African airlines are in for a major overhaul, which will put them on a competitive par with international counterparts around the world. This follows the signing of an e-ticketing agreement between all African airlines.

The deal was concluded between SITA, South African Airways (SAA) and the African Airlines Association, at the 37th Annual General Assembly of the African Airlines Association at Sun City in the North West.

About 300 delegates, representing 42 African airlines, have gathered to find solutions to challenges facing the African aviation industry. As the theme of the conference suggests, African airlines need to adopt strategies for sustainable development in order to be globally competitive."
