**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a conference on African air transport, evaluating the second phase of the development of aviation in Africa, and outlining plans for the implementation of resolutions. The language used is technical and focuses on the development of air services, the exchange of freedoms, and the promotion of national airlines. This suggests that the category is related to transport and communication.
