Africa stands out as one of the world’s fastest growing regions for air travel. Its domestic markets are expected to expand by nearly 9% this summer — the second-highest rate behind Central Asia, according to capacity data from aviation analytics platform OAG. The continent’s aviation sector comprises a 2% sliver of the global travel market but benefits from population and GDP growth to propel further expansion. Nigeria's new Dangote refinery and Vitol's entry into South Africa have helped fuel that growth.
