AFRAA explained during a webinar this morning that the tax is ‘apparently’ intended to enhance passenger rights protection and improve service quality.

IATA and ANCA are to postpone the tax’s implementation to May to address challenges associated with already sold tickets, to ensure proper filing, and also to facilitate consultation with all stakeholders.
