South African commercial aviation sector outperforming economy, index shows

The South African commercial aviation sector “is alive and well and outperforming most other sectors of the economy by a considerable margin” reported the Commercial Aviation Association of Southern Africa (Caasa) in a statement released on November 29. The release marked the publication of the “Caasa Aviation Activity Index (CAAI): 3rd Quarter 2016”. There was, however, a “modest decline” in comparison to the second quarter.
