Which airlines cover routes within Africa?
Regional and national carriers handle most intra-African traffic, among them Ethiopian Airlines, Asky Airlines, Africa World Airlines, Air Burkina, Air Cote d'Ivoire, Air Senegal and Air Malawi. Coverage varies by region, so a single trip often combines a hub carrier with a smaller regional operator. Articles in this section review each airline's routes, fares and reliability separately.
How do I judge the safety of an African airline?
Safety assessments look at an airline's operating history, fleet, incident record and regulatory oversight rather than reputation alone. The reviews here treat safety separately from punctuality, since an airline can have a solid record and still run frequent delays. Each airline guide states what is known about the carrier and what remains unclear.
What happens if an airline on my route shuts down?
When a carrier ceases operations, as happened with Air Namibia, its routes are usually absorbed by other airlines or dropped entirely, which can change both fares and connection options. Existing bookings may need to be rerouted through a different hub. The relevant article explains the practical effect on trips that relied on that airline.
