Traveling in Africa today is much easier and convenient than it was a few years ago thanks to the intra-African spread of some of the continent’s carriers. But the frequency of flights is still limited and the daily spread concentrated at peak times only. Many of the airlines do not align their schedules with each other, resulting in mis-connections, long lay-overs at airports and sometimes extra costs incurred in accommodating passengers in hotels.

The African Airlines Association (AFRAA) launched an African Route Network Cooperation project with the objective of increasing intra-African flight frequencies and offering flexibility to travelers while increasing airlines revenue at minimum cost. According to AFRAA, many African carriers currently optimize their own network but have limited coordination with other African carriers. Changing this trend to a more cooperative results driven approach through schedule optimization and code-share will deliver significant incremental revenue and benefits for airlines by:

• Growing flights connectivity between African cities and between Africa and other regions by coordinating each carrier frequencies, day of operation, and departure time
• Developing the airline schedule on markets where the carriers have small or limited exposure
• Adding new destinations under the airline own code without operating the route
• Improving aircraft utilization and use aircraft resources in new markets
• Enhancing elapse time on beyond markets to increase carriers market share
• Analyzing new market opportunities by specific carrier and potential partners
• Reviewing opportunities to seasonally reduce schedules between two or more carriers in common markets
