AVIATION AFRICA WILL NOW TAKE PLACE 14 & 15 OCTOBER 2021

The Aviation Africa Summit and Exhibition – Africa’s largest top-level conference and exhibition event – has been postponed until October following meetings between organisers Times Aerospace Events Ltd and the government of Rwanda.

The event, which was due in July, will now take place in Kigali on October 14-15, 2021.

“Although we were confident Rwanda, and the venue in Kigali, have excellent Covid protocols in place, we felt there is still enough uncertainty around the region along with travel restrictions by some governments, that could impact many of those people who we know want to come to the event,” said Mark Brown, managing director of Times Aerospace Events Ltd.

This year’s summit is focusing on the revival of the industry for existing players and the many start-ups that are emerging from the pandemic situation and will be welcoming experts from around the world with active participation from Africa’s aviation and aerospace leadership from airlines, operators, airports, air navigation providers, regulators, manufacturers and government.

This is the sixth edition of the annual event which anchors to Kigali every two years before moving elsewhere on the continent in alternate years.

Anyone interested in sponsorship or exhibition opportunities should contact mark.brown@aviationafrica.aero.

AVIATION AFRICA WILL NOW TAKE PLACE 7 & 8 JULY 2021

Aviation Africa will move to new dates of 7th & 8th July 2021 at the Kigali Convention Centre in Rwanda it is announced today.

We believe and hope that with the arrival of the vaccine, the COVID-19 virus will have declined sufficiently that people can have the confidence to travel and attend live events by the second half of 2021.

Obviously, the safety of all attendees is of utmost importance, the situation is fluid and being monitored by all events across the globe. Aviation Africa is a young fast-growing event in this sector and we are making sure we can maximise attendance as travellers gain confidence to resume their global travel plans. Our aim is to ensure that the event is of maximum value to both the exhibitors and the delegates attending.

At this current time we would like to take the opportunity of wishing all our partners, exhibitors, speakers, delegates and visitors Seasons Greetings and we hope to see you all in Rwanda in 2021.

Safe landings.

AVIATION AFRICA ANNOUNCES NEW DATES FOR 2021

Dates move from February
to April 21 & 22

We are delighted to announce we have secured new dates of 21 & 22 April 2021 at the Kigali Convention Centre, Rwanda for Aviation Africa next year.

In light of ongoing disruption caused by the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) we hope these new dates will ensure we can maximise the attendance at this fast-growing event. Allowing ourselves an extra two months from the onset of the virus, we hope will mean borders are all open for as many clients/companies to join us in Rwanda as possible.

The aviation sector has arguably been hit the hardest by the pandemic along with the hospitality industry and we would like to ensure our customers and their customers can use events like Aviation Africa to discuss the ways forward, pool ideas and resources and build the industry back up together.

At this current time we would like to take the opportunity of wishing all our exhibitors, speakers, delegates and visitors our support for the situation we are all facing and we hope to see you all in Rwanda in 2021.

Safe landings.
