AFRICAN PERCEPTION OF AVIATION SHOULD CHANGE
Speakers confirmed from African and Middle East
airlines already include Girma Wake, Chairman, Rwandair (formerly CEO,
Ethiopian Airlines), Adel Ali, Board Member & Group Chief Executive, Air
Arabia and Dr Nicklas Dahlstrom, Human Factors Manager, Emirates Airline.
There are also senior figures
from aviation authorities and associations who include Dr Elijah Chingosho,
Secretary General, Africa Airlines Association – AFRAA, Hussein Dabbas, VP
Africa & Middle East, IATA and Dr Hamdi Chaouk, Director General, Civil
Aviation Lebanon.
Aviation Africa 2015 has been
launched to change the perception of African aviation. The panel sessions will
deal with the opportunities and issues challenging the growth of the African
aviation market, tackling Open Skies, Training, Human Factors, Finance and
Business Aviation.
Alan Peaford, the Summit Chairman
and show organiser said: “We are delighted that our panel sessions at the summit
will include these high level speakers as their participation ensures the
debates will benefit from their leadership experience and help to encourage not
just discussion but decisions and real progress”.
Why Dubai
The home of “open skies” with more international routes to Africa than Africa carriers themselves plus visa regulations that
make it easier for Pan-African nationals to meet in one place.
The two-day summit will also
feature an associated exhibition with up to 40 companies who currently include
UAS International Trip Support as Gold Sponsor, African Open Sky & Atlantic
FuelEx as Silver sponsors, NEXUS & Wyvern Consulting as Gala Reception
sponsors, Hadid Flight Services as Bag sponsor and exhibiting companies
such as Ethiopian Airlines – the Official Carrier, Safat Aviation Group, Boeing
and Jeppesen.
