Airlines of Africa
Airlines proliferated in Africa because, in many countries, road and rail networks are not well developed due to financial issues, terrain, and rainy seasons. Ben R. Guttery, author of ''Encyclopedia of African Airlines'', said "Although most of the carriers have never been large by European or American standards, they have had tremendous impact on the economy and the people."〔Guttery, Ben R. ''Encyclopedia of African Airlines''. McFarland & Company, 1 August 1998. (1 ). Retrieved from Google Books on 15 February 2012.〕 Many larger African airlines are owned partially or completely by national governments.〔 Some African airlines have European airlines as major shareholders. For instance, KLM has a 26% stake in Kenya Airways and British Airways has an 18% stake in Comair.〔Graham, Anne, Andreas Papatheodorou, and Peter Forsyth (editors).

==History==
Historically, the British authorities established locally based airlines in their colonies, while the national airlines of Belgium, France, Portugal, and Spain served their respective colonies.〔Guttery, Ben R. ''Encyclopedia of African Airlines''. McFarland & Company, 1 August 1998. (2 ). Retrieved from Google Books on 15 February 2012.〕 After African countries became independent, national governments established their own airlines.〔 Many newly independent countries desired to have their own flag carriers to showcase their independence, and those countries wanted large jets like DC-10s and 747s even if the air demand did not warrant those jets. Some airlines, like Air Afrique, were jointly sponsored by multiple governments. Some joint carriers, such as Central African Airways, East African Airways, and West African Airways, were established when the United Kingdom colonized parts of Africa.〔 The knowledge of aircraft, the airline industry, and financial capital, originating from the Europeans, was used to establish the new African carriers.〔Guttery, Ben R. ''Encyclopedia of African Airlines''. McFarland & Company, 1 August 1998. (3 ). Retrieved from Google Books on 15 February 2012.〕
