Last week, the Advanced Air Mobility Symposium, hosted by Fahari Aviation—a subsidiary of Kenya Airways—brought together visionaries, innovators, and leaders to explore the transformative potential of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in Africa.

From flying taxis to drone technology, the discussions highlighted how AAM can revolutionize logistics, healthcare, and urban mobility across Africa

One key takeaway? Africa's youthful generation could hold the key to advancing AAM.

Stress and trauma affect our biopsychosocial functioning as human beings. But having an adequate support system is vital for countering the challenges we face on a daily basis.
