Open skies for Africa, a principled approach to the implementation of the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM)
The Establishment of an African Single Aviation Market (SAM) is a difficult and evolutionary process, particularly considering the continent's socio-political context and the inherent challenges of integrating a continent as expansive and diverse as Africa. The most significant effort to reform the …

The Analysis of Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA) Data: Exploration of a Proposed List of Improved Safety Parameters
… FOQA parameters that could enhance air carrier safety have not been recorded and/or analyzed. Airlines have traditionally chosen a limited number of parameters for analysis (thousands have been available for recording). No study in the U.S. had addressed FOQA parameters, leading to an …
