La pénurie de pièces détachées cloue au sol l'aviation africaine
African airlines are facing delays and cancellations due to a global shortage of aircraft spare parts, grounding planes around the world.
Smaller carriers such as Uganda Airlines, Kenya Airways, Air Senegal and RwandAir are the hardest hit, with each company ending the year with at least one aircraft grounded.
According to a study by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), this crisis is expected to cost the aviation sector more than $11 billion this year.
Jacques Assoumou, pilot and former Air Gabon executive, participates in the program to explain why African companies have been disproportionately affected and how this shortage will affect their competitiveness.

But challenges remain, including high energy costs, logistical difficulties and infrastructure gaps.
