Air traffic on the continent is recovering faster than other regions around the world despite a devastating second wave, according to the African Airlines Association (AFRAA).
While a sharp increase in Covid-19 cases in several more developed markets has sparked a return to lockdowns, most African countries have kept their borders open, even as the continent suffers from a second wave and a death rate above the global average.
South Africa returned to stricter lockdowns after being hit by a more transmissible strain of the virus which has spread to at least three other African nations.
Despite mounting concern over the severity of the second wave, travel within the region has continued at a reduced rate.
