For years, flying within West Africa has often cost more than flying out of it. That may soon change. ECOWAS has approved a plan to eliminate air ticket taxes across the region beginning in 2026 — a move aimed at lowering fares, boosting regional travel, and unlocking trade between neighboring countries. If airlines pass the savings on to passengers, this policy could redefine mobility in West Africa, turning air travel from a barrier into a bridge for economic growth and regional integration.
