Latest Aviation Index for South Africa shows sector outperforming rest of economy

The South African commercial aviation sector “is alive and well and outperforming most other sectors of the economy by a considerable margin” reported the Commercial Aviation Association of Southern Africa (Caasa) in a statement released on Tuesday. The release marked the publication of the ‘Caasa Aviation Activity Index (CAAI): 3rd Quarter 2016’. There was, however, a “modest decline” in comparison to the second quarter. The CAAI is a composite index and, using a three-month moving average, since the first quarter of 2014, the CAAI has risen by more than 47%, giving an average annual growth rate of 16.8%. In comparison, the average annual growth rate of the country’s gross domestic product (weighted in accordance with the quantity/nominal value ratio used by the Index) was only 4.6%.
