Quote: one example is lome, togo. the chinese r building a brand new terminal that will look like the terminall in brazzavile, (french)congo. it is 100x better than delta's/jfk,s terminal 2....it is a disgrace that nyc has a terminal that is one of the worst in the world! anyway, lome is planning 4 their airport to be a western african hub w/ something like 3x the passengers currently.
They must have updated something since I was there a few (3-4?) years ago. It certainly wasn't the worst I've seen, but I wouldn't have called it good.

ethiopian started up a west african carrier. kenya airways wants to do the same. the chinese r kicking our ass all over africa. but, we r at least starting to notice africa.
I was just having this discussion with a colleague from Africa the other day. He seemed to agree with many of the sentiments expressed in this thread.
