- MRO - Africa is not blind to what must happen in MRO for its civil aviation to reach full potential. Recent moves by several airlines are promising, but more is needed
The perennial story in African MRO is the crippling cost of sending assets abroad for base maintenance. The underlying theme is shortages – of everything: parts, slots, technicians, cash, Investors... These are fairly universal but Africa as usual gets hammered hardest. The lack of an EU-style common market doesn't help

|
- Creating a sustainable African aviation industry, encompassing environmental, social and economic dimensions
African has the opportunity to develop SAF and could play a big part in Africa’s commitment to the industry’s target for net zero emissions by 2050. But sustainability is about more than just fuel. Consideration of the socio-economic and human resource element – including training and skills retention – is vital if the industry is to remain viable and able to meet customer demands
|
- Putting it all together: Leadership figures from across the industry assess the progress Africa is making and where it must do more
|
Events are often strong on words and slow in action points. This panel is brought together to highlight some of the key topics from the event and put their spin on it. All experienced in key roles, honest answers will help delegates leave with purpose
