Aviation Africa 2024 Teams Up With AfBAA

The advancement of business aviation in Africa is a focus at the 8th Aviation AFRICA Summit & Exhibition following the co-location of the African Business Aircraft Association’s (AfBAA) Symposium and Annual General Meeting at the event, being held at the Sandton Convention Centre in Gauteng, South Africa on 16 & 17 September 2024.

“Co-locating our annual symposium at Aviation Africa is a major statement of intent about the importance of business aviation to this continent and our commitment to developing our industry on the most significant platforms,” said Alcinda Pereira, chair of AfBAA.

“Our partnership will create a greater networking opportunity for the region’s business aviation community and amplify AfBAA’s voice across our business and beyond,” she said.

The Summit will feature a keynote presentation from Pereira, who is the co-founder and vice-chair of Angolan private aviation group Bestfly, while vice-chair Gavin Kiggen, who is the vice president, ExecuJet Africa & president aircraft sales and acquisitions at Luxaviation Group, will also feature on the Summit programme, along with other senior representatives drawn from AfBAA members.

“As Aviation Africa has grown and developed, we have seen increasing delegate and exhibitor numbers at the event, so it is extremely fitting that we are teaming up with AfBAA in 2024 to boost participation from the business aviation industry,” said Mark Brown, CEO of Times Aerospace Events, which runs Aviation Africa.
