Conceived essentially as a non-profit regional organisation, the founding fathers of AFRAA were motivated by the desire to establish harmonious and effective co-operation between African Airlines. This would be a means of accelerating the realization of economic and social integration of African countries. To this effect, the objectives of the Association are:
* To promote the development o
f safe, reliable, economical and efficient air transport services to, from, within and through Africa and to study problems connected therein.
* To foster closer commercial and technical co-operation among African air transport enterprises.
* To serve as common forum for the articulation of the views of member airlines on matters and problems of common interest and the defence of such interests.
* Provide service that adds value to the efficiency, effectiveness, reliability and safety of member airlines.
