African countries want to make flying easier between their cities. They want to help their economies grow.

非洲國家希望讓城市之間的飛行更加便捷，以促進經濟成長。

Many years ago, African leaders agreed to open their skies. They wanted more flights and lower prices. But today, it is still hard to fly between African countries. Many people must fly to Europe first to go to another African city.

許多年前，非洲領導人同意開放領空。他們希望增加航班並降低價格。但時至今日，在非洲國家之間飛行依然困難。許多人必須先飛往歐洲，才能前往另一個非洲城市。

Some experts say this is a big problem. They say open skies can create 155,000 new jobs. However, some governments want to protect their own airlines. They do not want other airlines to compete.

一些專家表示這是一個大問題。他們認為開放領空可以創造 155,000 個新工作機會。然而，部分政府希望保護自己的航空公司，不希望其他航空公司參與競爭。

Now, leaders are trying to fix this. They made a new plan in Togo. They also started a group to solve arguments between countries. They want to lower taxes and make visas easier for travelers.

現在，領導人們正嘗試解決這個問題。他們在多哥制定了一項新計劃。他們還成立了一個小組來解決國家之間的爭端。他們希望降低稅率，並簡化旅客的簽證申請程序。

Africa has a plan for air travel. But it will only work if countries stop protecting their own airlines.

非洲已經有了航空交通計劃。但除非各國停止保護自己的航空公司，否則該計劃將無法奏效。
