South Sudan has launched an airspace management system to net extra revenue from the commercial, cargo and private aircraft that will ply the routes leading to Juba International Airport. According to the Airport World, an aviation-oriented website owned by Airports Council International (ACI), Juba’s decision is part of the wider initiative to open up infrastructural avenues and tap their potential. This was a result of a partnership between NavPass and the South Sudan Civil Aviation Authority (SSCAA). It involves assembling the infrastructure which entails putting up the fee collection system, adhering to government policies and being compliant with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). SSCAA Captain David Subek said the June 17; event marked the ‘‘crucial step towards a more prosperous future for the whole of South Sudan through additional direct and indirect economic activity.” Tom Perkins, the CEO of NaPass said the step would yield a lot of revenue for the country and spur economic growth. He said, “For every dollar invested in sovereign airspace, capacity translates into between five and 20 dollars of economic impact. We’re proud to be working with governments across the world, including South Sudan, to optimise and monetise airspace, bridging the divide between nations.”
