Alexander Herring

Vice President Africa
I have always been passionate about aviation and its influence on social and economic development. Aviation is an amazing, highly interesting and exciting environment challenging at all times, and requiring my full attention by being a constant learning process. My area of expertise with ADB SAFEGATE is to focus on business development, and organization and management tasks. When it comes to business, I believe that nothing is impossible.

And now, with traffic is set to double in the coming years, Africa will not only attract more stakeholders, airlines, investors and financiers but also the whole business world.

green wing

With the Sustainable Innovation Forum COP21, hosted in Paris, just around the corner, Safegate Group is focusing on leaders in green business practices in the airport industry.

Aviation produces 2% of global CO2 emissions and airports are central actors in balancing the growing demand for air transportation and concerns of local communities on this issue.
