Abstract

The establishment of the Single African Air Transport Market is of great significance to the liberalization of international air transport market. Based on this background, this paper studies the effect of the liberalization of China and the Single African Air Transport Market by using the expanded gravity model. It is found that the relaxation of the clause of capacity, the fifth freedom traffic rights and code sharing can promote the development of the air transport market between China and the Single African Air Transport Market, which implies that the aviation authority can promote the bilateral cooperation between China and Africa by expanding the relevant air traffic rights.
