The African Airlines Association
(AFRAA) announces that its 42nd Annual General Assembly (AGA) will
hold in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from November 21 - 23, 2010 under the
theme: "Adapting To Survive And Prosper". AFRAA notes that the 42nd
General Assembly and African Air Transport Summit will be hosted by
Ethiopian Airlines at the UNECA Conference Centre. AFRAA's AGA will
bring together Chairmen and CEOs of all the major African airlines,
civil aviation authorities, airport companies and other
stakeholders in the aviation industry from within and outside the
continent. The conference also attracts top government and industry
policy makers and representatives of international and regional
aviation organizations.
The AGAs are marked by discussions and analysis of the global and,
in particular, the African airline industry challenges,
achievements, opportunities and the way forward. The discussions
are led by eminent industry practitioners, renowned speakers and
panelists. AFRAA AGAs facilitate business cooperation among the
member airlines and provide net-working oppor-tunities for the
carriers and major aviation aircraft and engine manu-facturers, IT
and other airline solution providers as well as leasing, financing
and aviation training organizations attending the conference.
AFRAA says this year's AGA is "special" in that it will take place
in the political capital of Africa and the seat of the African
Union. Ethiopian Airlines last hosted an AFRAA AGA 10 years ago, in
year 2000.
