eli5 how do countries with crumbling infrastructure afford to properly train and field pilots and airliners?

Question

Ethiopia, for instance. Most of these airlines have remarkably good safety records considering how loosely regulated I would assume they are.

Answer 1

I think that even countries with “crumbling infrastructure” have areas of the government that just work, either because of a financial incentive or because a small group of leaders has made it work. The financial incentives of having a working airline are probably important to them and I’m sure that a group of people has “made it work.”
