Globalisation drives the economy world-wide and helps fastdeveloping African countries to increase their exports. East-African states in particular are producing more and more goods which find purchasers in Europe. Perishable goods often travel to their target markets by air. The states are expanding their infrastructure to cope with the rising volume of air traffic. This includes various building projects at international airports which record rising numbers of passengers and corresponding growth in airfreight.
