Potential further coverage
•Service coverage could be extended through deployment of sole ground infrastructure, sharing space segments of the existing systems
Coverage scenario presented by the FAA (US)
Benefits of SBAS in Africa
The economic opening-up of airports and isolated regions, by making regional airports currently not equipped with the traditional aid instruments (ILS, VOR, DME) accessible to national, intercontinental, and intra-continental flights
Facilitated exchanges with Europe, through the harmonisation of operational flight procedures between African countries and the rest of the world
Savings on investments at local level, by reducing drastically the need and maintenance costs of ILS-type ground facilities in the airports
Safer guidance during airport approaches
Positive and very substantial repercussions in other sectors, such as the rail transport, agriculture and the territory planning
Reduction of costs and greater reactivity for humanitarian interventions
Impact on economic development and integration
37 % from Africa is 250km from an ILS equipped airport
87 % from Africa is 250km from a main or regional airport

Satellite navigation in the Africa-EU policies
SBAS in Africa is part of the First Action Plan (2008-2010) for the Implementation of the Africa-EU Strategic Partnership (Lisbon Summit, December 2007)
Reaffirmed by Vice-President Tajani at the African Union Open Day on Infrastructure (Addis Ababa, January 2009)

Technical feasibility and users’ interest
Temporary EGNOS reference stations installed in several African countries: Chad, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Zambia, Namibia and South Africa; flight testing took place during a East-to-West flight from Dakar to Mombasa on 19-20 May 2005
A demonstration of the use of EGNOS for advanced rail traffic management, on low-density rail lines, Gauteng, South Africa 2005
