I'm quite amazed to learn that not a single US airline ever flew before to Cairo, Nairobi, Johannesburg, etc. What would be the reason for boycotting every country in Africa? Apr 14 06, 6:49 AM

Probably money was the reason. Most of Africa was poor - no money there to make, and no air-conditioned hotels for the tourists. South Africa had money, but that was too long a haul without a stop, and there was nowhere worthwhile on the way. And anyway, Imperial / BOAC / BA flew there already. They probably wouldn't fly to Cairo for fear of upsetting Israel - or the Egyptians wouldn't let them anyway. Apr 14 06, 3:29 PM
