AFRAA STARTS REGISTRATION FOR ANNUAL ASSEMBLY IN ALGIERS
(Posted 04th July 2014)
The 46th Annual General Assembly of the African Airline Association, in short AFRAA, will this year take place in the Algerian capital Algiers from November 09th to 11th.
‘Winning Together through Innovation and Collaboration’ was given as the theme of this year’s assembly at the Hilton Algiers Hotel. Host airline Air Algerie is looking forward to welcome airline chiefs and top managers from across the African continent. AFRAA has opened the registration for the event and details are available on the organization’s website www.afraa.org
AFRAA also announced the formation of a management committee for their latest initiative to help member airlines lower their cost, joint groundhandling, which follows in the footsteps of the hugely successful joint fuel purchasing project which, now in its third year, saved tens of millions of US Dollars for participating airlines.
Information from AFRAA in Nairobi suggests that by the end of this year the first tender will be ready for joint ground handling and that by 2015 the project may be able to take off and yield savings for the airlines which choose to join the scheme.
