The African Airlines Association (AFRAA) was established in April, 1968 in Accra , Ghana as a Trade Organisation open to membership of airlines of African States. There are currently forty members from African Union member States.
The formation of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) was the result of historic developments and economic imperatives.
In the early 1960s, a great number of African States acceded to independence and created their own national airlines. Most of these airlines became members of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The highest policy making body of the Association is the Annual General Assembly composed of Chief Executives of member airlines. The Annual General Assembly is presided over by the President of the Association. Mr. Girma Wake, Chief Executive Officer of Ethiopian Airlines, is the President of the Association for 2010. In this capacity, Mr. Wake and Ethiopian Airlines will host the 42nd AGA in Addis Ababa.
