Below is a link to a dashboard with analysis of scheduled #airline operations at the main aviation ?? airports of the seven sovereign member states of the East African Community (#eac). It aims to provide valuable insights into the level of air #inter-connectivity on various scales, including inter-continental, intra-#africa (outside the EAC), regional, and domestic operations.

#Prelude: The analysis is based on data obtained from seven airports within the EAC region as ?:

1. Burundi – Bujumbura Int’l #BJM/HBBA
2. DRC – N’djili Int’l #FIH/FZAA
3. Kenya – Jomo Kenyatta Int’l #NBO/HKJK
4. Rwanda – Kigali Int’l #KGL/HRYR
5. South Sudan – Juba Int’l #JUB/HJJJ
6. Tanzania – Julius Nyerere Int’l #DAR/HTDA
7. Uganda – Entebbe Int’l #EBB/HUEN

Key Insights ??:

??Available Seat Kilometers (ASK): The cumulative weekly #ASK across these airports amounts to approximately 1.25 billion, translating into an estimated weekly airline #revenue of approximately 206 million USD.

???? Leading Aviation Hub: Kenya Airports Authority run Jomo Kenyatta Int’l Airport emerges as the preeminent aviation hub among the seven airports, representing 44.4% of the total airline seats and offering #connectivity to well over 55 direct airline routes.

??Top Routes by ASK: The top five routes, based on ASK, either originate from or are destined for Kenya’s #HKJK airport. Notably, the NBO-LHR route, operated by Kenya Airways & British Airways, is the leading route per ASK.

???Leading Routes by Number of Airline Seats: The Kenyan #domestic route of NBO-MBA records approximately 25,525 weekly airline seats, while the #Tanzanian domestic route of DAR-ZNZ boasts approximately 17,585 weekly airline
seats.

??Airline Ticket Pricing: Examination of airline ticket pricing per kilometer reveals that both distance and available airline seats significantly impact prices. Short #regional and domestic routes, such as NBO-BJM at $2.58 per KM and KGL-BJM at $1.95 per KM, tend to be more costly. Conversely, inter-continental routes offer the most cost-effective fares per kilometer. For instance, the 15-hour flight from Nairobi to #NewYork #jfkairport costs about $0.108 per kilometer.

Summary ?:

Domestic and regional routes, particularly those operated by smaller piston engine and turbo props #aircraft, exhibit higher ticket costs per kilometer. This underscores the significant influence of #economies of scale on ticket pricing.
