Introduction.
Eswatini has positioned itself at the forefront of efforts to advance the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) by hosting a three‑day high‑level regional capacity‑building workshop from 15 to 17 December 2025 in Manzini and Mbabane. The event was hosted by Eswatini Civil Aviation Authority (ESWACAA) in collaboration with the African Union and the Eastern Africa, Southern Africa and Indian Ocean (EA‑SA‑IO) regional bloc. It brought together senior government officials, civil aviation authorities, regulators, and industry stakeholders to assess progress, address challenges, and develop strategies to accelerate SAATM implementation—a flagship African Union initiative aimed at liberalising air transport across the continent under Agenda 2063. Workshop discussions focused on reviewing the status of key SAATM measures among signatory states, identifying bottlenecks to full liberalisation, and strengthening regulatory and institutional capacity to improve connectivity and reduce barriers to regional air travel.
