The 11th Aviation Stakeholders Convention, hosted by Ethiopian Airlines under the patronage of the Ethiopian government, will be held from May 7-9.

The theme of the event will be, “Changing the African Aviation Narrative”, and it is expecting an attendance of over 400 delegates from the international market, including several African airline chief executive officers and other aviation industry leaders. The convention acts as a leading forum for airfreight industries to discuss topical issues and exchange knowledge and perspectives in order to develop the industry.

It’s an opportunity for the travel ecosystem stakeholders to meet, deliberate on strategies to enhance efficiencies, create synergies, develop intra-Africa connectivity, and ensure business continuity that will redefine the narrative of the African air transport industry, says African Airlines Association (AFRAA) secretary general, Abdérahmane Berthé.

It will showcase the ‘Africa Rising’ mantra, manifested in the growing opportunities for all stakeholders in the continent’s aviation industry.”

The programme includes sessions to encourage discussions of various topics, masterclasses, social events to facilitate networking, and B2B sessions through a conferencing application. Delegates are expected to use this opportunity to discuss developments and create business partnerships.

There will also be an exhibition and showcase of aviation-related products and solutions.

Among the event sponsors are Ethiopian Airlines, ASECNA, ATNS, Boeing, Collins Aerospace, and Embraer.
