Organizers of the AviaDev Africa event, scheduled to be held in Windhoek in June this year, have revealed that 26 airlines and counting have already registered to participate.
“As the premier platform dedicated to growing connectivity to, from, and within the African continent, we are humbled to have such great support from our community,” said AviaDev Africa CEO Jon Howell.
The Namibia Airports Company (NAC) is set to host the annual forum, which brings together influential stakeholders, including airlines, airports, tourism boards, government officials, and industry experts, to foster collaboration, forge strategic partnerships, and explore opportunities that will deliver new air routes across Africa.
This comes as the NAC’s Route Development initiative, known as ‘Air Connect Namibia,’ was developed on a collaborative basis with public and private stakeholders, intended to enhance the levels of scheduled air services to and from Namibia.
According to NAC’s latest financials for the year ended 31 March 2023, passenger volumes were up 199% to 854,808, while Aircraft volumes for the period came in at 43,505, representing a 123% improvement over the prior year.
AviaDev Africa provides a platform for aviation professionals, policymakers, and industry leaders to come together to discuss and develop solutions to the challenges facing the African aviation industry.
The conference will feature a range of speakers, panel discussions, and workshops, as well as an exhibition of aviation products and services.
