 By
Jerry W. Bird,
Editor.
From my earliest experiences with
rugged bush pilots in the far
Yukon, to service in the Royal
Canadian Air Force and close
partnership with Transport
Canada's vast Airport Network,
flying has been in my blood. For
over 15 years, I have flown to
gateways across Africa; the most
recent being Banjul,
The Gambia
for
the ATA 35th Annual Congress.
Serendipity played its familiar
role when we received “The
World's major Airlines and
Aircraft Companies” by
David
Wragg.
This prompted a a series of book
reviews, and an evaluation of
Africa's airline industry past,
present and future.Today so many
airlines operate throughout the
world, even the most
knowledgeable enthusiast can soon
become confused about which
carrier flies from where to
where. Our new issue will provide
the answer.”

our ATA 35th Anniversary Tribute
to Mira Berman, featuring her
flashback,“Africa's Future
is in the
Air.”
 By
Mira
Berman
ATA,
which represents the hopes,
desires, plans and potential of
Africa's travel - tourism
industry was born in 1975 and
raised under the most trying
political, social and financial
conditions. Today's ATA continues
to seek new markets, win new
friends and open new doors. In
Africa, recent years have
signaled remarkable changes.
Ranking high are new direct
routes and realistic fares from
New York and other USA gateways.
In
evaluating Africa's
transportation scene, ATA members
can be considered
 among
the most astute judges of all.
Since our launch in 1976 at a
Congress in Nairobi, Kenya, ATA
members have flown on every
airline serving the continent and
its offshore islands, and have
boarded regional carriers that
crisscross, this vast expanse of
geography, linking dozens of
emerging cities and towns. Some
have gone by train, or enjoyed
waterborne adventures along the
coastline of two oceans, the
majestic Mediterranean, or
Africa's historic canals, lakes
and
rivers.
