Tiivistelmä
The global aviation industry is dynamic and have been changing consistently due to globalization, technology, and demand. Previous literature has referred the African Aviation Industry as having a huge potential for growth, but currently lagging behind comparatively. To achieve the growth, this project was designed to investigate the issues facing the industry and make recommendations that will enhance the industry performance to achieve its projected status.
Theoretically, the thesis was commenced on the foundation of strategic business management framework that encompasses concepts like innovation, technology, sustainability, and leadership. With a population of over a billion people and about 54 countries it does not seem empirically right why the Sub-Saharan African Aviation Industry lags behind. After the Yamoussoukro declaration in 1999 that sought to establish a framework for liberalization in the region not much has been achieved in this regard.
In investigating the issues identified, the research was conducted using a qualitative research method, the aim of this method was explore the issues and draw conclusions and recommendations subject to further research. Key results are the lack of patriotism, lack of effective liberalisation efforts, politics, and security issues, lack collaboration and ineffective leadership.
