Title: Gambia Civil Aviation Authority.

Abstract: Authorities at the Gambia Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) are confident that positive growth at Banjul's international airport at Yundum will continue as the airport develops into a key regional west African hub. Much of the growth at the airport over the last 10 years has been a byproduct of Gambia's increasing attractiveness as a holiday destination for European tourists. Authorities acknowledge that there will be obvious limitations to the growth potential for passengers using Banjul as a final destination. Mam Sait Jallow, director of airport operations and planning, explains that, for the bulk of its growth, the airport will be relying on transit traffic, both for passengers and cargo. Many of the infrastructural requirements to accommodate expected growth are in place. However, GCAA officials also acknowledge that a substantial program of further improvements, especially in non-aeronautical commercial activities, will have to be developed if the airport is to live up to its potential. The important role of private capital is recognized by the authorities.

Author(s): Vandyk, Anthony
Abstract: Gambia is trying to promote its airline industry as tourism gains in importance. Foreign airlines operate most of the tourist traffic, but Air Gambia and Gambia Airways wish to expand their services. The Federal Aviation Administration turned down Air Gambia's request to start a service to New York, NY, because of safety concerns. Gambia Airways operates two YS-11s, and performs all minor checks itself. Major checks will be performed by a contractor, and Gambia Airways is evaluating offers from a UK company.

Title: The Ecowas Brown Card Scheme.
Date: 1987
Source: International Insurance Monitor; Jan/Feb 1987, v41n1, p. 20-22 (3 pages)
Author(s): Ekula, Boniface.
Abstract: Kalu Idika Kalu, the Nigerian Minister for National Planning, has launched a scheme that provides motor insurance coverage for motorists visiting the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) or traveling within the subregion. The insurance provides security to cover third-party liability in the event of an accident within the ECOWAS subregion. The scheme should help facilitate the movement of goods and persons within that area. Additional benefits are the encouragement and development of tourism and the gradual dissemination of a positive community-building attitude within the subregion. The governments of all 16 ECOWAS countries have ratified the agreement. A common system of operation and claims settlement will be used. Gambia and Senegal have launched the scheme, and the remaining 13 countries have set up national bureaus in preparation. The Brown Card is designed to eliminate inconveniences caused to motorists and will enable them to take care of liabilities incurred by policyholders in foreign countries.
