We
launched Africa Travel Magazine and Air
Highways in 1995, setting up a
distribution plan that links each edition
to one or more major events.
Air Highways
and Open Skies
Air Highways Magazine was launched
at Airport Conferences by Transport Canada
and IATA , both in Vancouver. As partners
with Transport Canada and 33 Airport
Managers, over 20,000 copies were
distributed. The next edition featured the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (
(APEC) Summit. It attracted delegates from
21 countries, many of whom are PATA
members. More issues on APEC and the
Pacific Rim are underway, plus editions on
other global destinations. Air Highways
editors helped develop magazines on behalf
of several regional airports.
Positive
Promotion for Africa

in 1996 at the ATA World Congress in
Windhoek, Namibia. Since that time our
