There are safety concerns with some African Airlines so do a little research before you book your holiday.
African Airlines can change month to month but you can usually count on the national airlines to stay in business for longer than that. It's best to check the link to the airline web sites for updated information regarding routes. If the web site no longer works, then the airline could be defunct. Please email me if you know of airlines listed that no longer operate or if there are new airlines that I haven't listed.
