AFRICAN OPEN SKY| MAX O. CISSE<br />
The continued growth<br />
For its seventh year running, the<br />
Trip support group AFRICAN<br />
OPEN SKY (AOS) has seen strong<br />
growth and increased demand,<br />
with traffic growing by 45% versus<br />
an overall average of around<br />
30 percent for this sector throughout Africa.<br />
This strong growth has inspired the Cote<br />
d’Ivoire-based private company to consolidate<br />
its network across Africa by opening offices<br />
in Djibouti, Tanzania and Burundi in February<br />
and March 2015.<br />
In addition to the above-mentioned locations,<br />
AOS, which was formed in 2009, today<br />
own a total of 18 offices in Benin, Burkina<br />
Faso, Cameroon, Congo, Democratic Republic<br />
of Congo, Ethiopia, Gabon, Guinea Bissau,<br />
Guinea Conakry, Kenya, Mali, Niger, Nigeria,<br />
Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sao Tome, Togo, and<br />
United Arab Emirates (the latter was opened<br />
especially to assist its expanding Middle Eastern<br />
client base). In all the company has more<br />
than 30 local representations across the continent.<br />
As AOS founder and CEO Max O Cisse<br />
notes, AOS is incontestably the Trip Support<br />
company with the most directly-owned offices.<br />
As Max O Cisse, (named by THE EURO-<br />
PEAN – CHASE PUBLISHING as the Aviation<br />
One of fundamental differences with other companies is that our<br />
offices are fully established as locally registered businesses and<br />
are approved by national civil aviation and airport authorities to<br />
coordinate flight operationsg<br />
