Europe has emerged as the leading destination for outbound flights from Africa in December 2025, according to the OAG Africa Aviation Market report.
Airlines operated about 9.62 million seats on Africa‑to‑Europe routes this month, the highest share of international air travel from the continent marking an 8.7 % increase compared with December 2024.
Regions behind Europe in scheduled capacity include intra‑Africa routes and the Middle East, though neither matched Europe’s volume this peak travel period.
December traditionally sees strong demand due to holiday travel and diaspora movements, driving airlines to boost capacity across key international markets.
The data highlights Europe’s continued prominence as a travel hub for African passengers during the year‑end season, with capacity growth outpacing other outbound markets. Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
