Word from the Secretary General
We recently held our 8th Aviation Stakeholder’s convention which took place in Mauritius and brought together more than 300 delegates from across the globe to stimulate dialogue, build sustainable networks to create a more competitive environment for business and improve the aviation support base on the continent.This year’s theme, “winning together”, encapsulated our commitment to work together to promote growth and sustainable connectivity in Africa through sharing of knowledge, experiences and best practices.
A successful and viable African aviation industry is achievable, but this requires rigorous efforts as well as close coordination and collaboration by all stakeholders ranging from Governments, regulatory authorities, airports, air navigation service providers, suppliers of the wide range of aviation products and services and the customers. Together, we can ensure an integrated, interconnected Africa that is competitive within itself and globally.
It is my hope that as an industry we will further build on the valuable insights from the forum to harness the strengths and capabilities of the entire ecosystem as a sure way to scale the innovations needed for better outcomes and solve complex challenges bogging down the sector. |
