Airtel May Exit African Telecommunications Scene by Klaasicworks(m): 11:48pm On Jan 24, 2017
As severe economic crisis hits most parts of Africa, Airtel may decide to exit Africa.


According to Bloomberg, Airtel “ is considering mergers or stake sales at some of its Africa operations as it looks to cut debt and make its biggest overseas acquisition profitable.”

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mr. Mittal, the chairman of Bharti Airtel, said this process would be completed within a year and would affect some of Bharti’s businesses in 15 African nations, including Nigeria.



It's been a very bad year for Airtel. They lost $91 million in the quarter of September 2016.

In order to reduce the debt, Airtel is considering selling a stake in Bharti Infratel Ltd., its tower unit. A committee was studying whether the sale would be a minority stake or control of the tower unit and a decision could be taken in a month.

One question comes to my mind though?

Is this why Airtel refused to roll out 4G service with other Nigerian Telcos. They were planning to leave. What do we have here

From Econet it changed Vmobile Then Celtel, not to forget Zain To Airtel.

Of all the networks they're still the best when it comes to customer care, good network, good and fast internet data services etc. There's never a time I call their customer care service that I don't get to speak with an actual agent. Always!

I hope they can come around with a plan that will make them stay.

Been using Airtel since 2009 and I have only one phone line.

I'll definitely miss Airtel If they leave.
