25th ACI Africa, October 17-23

Exciting times ahead for African aviation, with IATA forecasting 5% annual growth over the next 20 years. We’re at the 25th ACI Africa Annual General Assembly, Regional Conference and Exhibition. If you are here too, come visit us at booth 16 and 17. We’re happy to discuss solutions for gate, airfield and ATC and how to work together towards improved efficiency and safety.

Africa is set to be one of the fastest-growing aviation regions over the next 20 years, with annual expansion averaging nearly 5%. Already transporting some 70 million passengers annually, IATA reports that aviation in the African continent already supports some 6.9 million jobs and $80 billion of economic opportunities. The air traffic growth opens up  fantastic opportunities for the continent’s 54 nations and is a very interesting market for the industry.

Parts of the aviation industry gather this week in the capital of Mozambique where the the 25th ACI Africa Annual General Assembly Regional Conference is held until October 23. The event provides opportunities to airports and aviations experts from all over the world to network, share information and forge a common  vision  for the future business of the African airports.
