African Aviation Events: 17th Aviation and Allied Business Leadership Conference

The 17th edition of the annual Aviation & Allied Business Leadership Conference will be held at the Kilimanjaro Hotel Kempinski, Dar es Salaam from August 28 - 30, 2011.

The Leadership Conference which is a private sector driven initiative has held annually since 1995 and attracted leaders and distinguished personalities in the air transport industry in Africa and beyond. Over the years, the Leadership Conference has enjoyed the participation of government leaders such as the Presidents and Heads of Governments of African States and several Ministers responsible for air transport across Africa.

The Leadership Conference has also continued to attract attendance from the leadership of various international agencies and organisations in Africa including the African Union, Commission, African Civil Aviation Commission, African Airlines Association, Airports Council International-Africa and the International Air Transport Association.

The theme of this year's gathering is "Air Transport In Africa: Strengthening Leadership: Sustaining Growth", and is a sequel to the 16th conference held 2010 in Gaborone, Botswana, with the theme: "Air Transport In Africa: The Challenge of Leadership".

According to the convener of the event, Captain Edward Boyo,"The conference will provide avenue for the public and private sectors to seek the best way forward for air transport in Africa. The 17th A&AB Leadership Conference will, therefore, strongly promote opening of intra-African markets, as well as the build-up and prioritization of effective leadership to drive aviation transformation in Africa"
