The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released the Value of Air Transport study for Kenya, quantifying the substantial benefits that aviation (including aviation-related tourism) generates in terms of jobs and economic activity. ย 

Highlights from 2023 data show that aviation supports and facilitates:
โ€ขย ย  ย USD 3.3 billion of economic activity (total impact including wider supply chain, employee spending, and tourism activities), equal to 3.1% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

โ€ขย ย  ย 460,000 jobs (total impact including wider supply chain, employee spending, and tourism activities), 5,700 of which are directly employed by airlines

โ€ขย ย  ย 380,000 tonnes of air cargo, making it is the 35th largest air cargo market in the world

“Kenya’s aviation sector is a vital economic driver, contributing USD 3.3 billion to GDP and supporting 460,000 jobs. With Africaโ€™s aviation market projected to grow at 3.7% over the next 20 years, the potential for these substantial economic and social benefits to grow are enormous. This will, however, require efficient, cost-competitive infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050,” said Willie Walsh, IATAโ€™s director general.

Key priorities for Kenya

IATA outlined three key priorities for Kenya:

โ€ขย ย ย ย Infrastructure:ย As Kenya expands its airport infrastructure, IATA encourages continued collaboration with airline stakeholders and alignment with global standards and best practices. Efficient, cost-effective infrastructure is vital to strengthening Kenyaโ€™s position as a leading East African hub for trade and tourism.

โ€ขย ย  ย Passenger and Cargo Facilitation:ย ย The implementation of Kenyaโ€™s electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) system has the potential to significantly enhance the countryโ€™s appeal as a destination for both leisure and business travel, as the system continues to be refined. Kenyaโ€™s competitiveness as a hub for both passenger and cargo activity can be strengthened with a comprehensive strategy for digitalization of facilitation processes.

โ€ขย ย  ย Training:ย ย A skilled aviation workforce is critical to growing aviationโ€™s benefits in Kenya. Key areas for capacity-building include technical operations, ground operations, maintenance, digital transformation and sustainability. IATAโ€™s regional training centre, with Kenya Airways as its training partner, will contribute to building Kenyaโ€™s aviation workforce of the future.
