The 45th Annual General Assembly (AGA) of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) is set to open in a few weeks on November 24-26, 2013 at the Leisure Lodge, South Coast, Mombasa, Kenya. This year’s AGA is convened at the kind invitation and patronage of Kenya Airways.  
Convened under the theme "Challenging Times – Africa's Strategic Alignment", the 45th AGA and Summit will take stock of the air transport growth trends, challenges and opportunities in Africa, assess the impact of global developments and strategize on how as an industry, airlines can work together to capitalize on the opportunities arising from the business and investment boom. The spectrum of deliberations at the conference will transcend business collaboration and delve into core issues of concern to the industry's development, including; safety, security, high costs, infrastructure and resources. Besides formal business of the Assembly, the Summit is structured to allow quality time for networking and business discussions to ensure that participants leave Mombasa fulfilled.
The AGA and Summit is a high profile air transport event dedicated to airline CEOs and invited top executives in the aviation industry. Annually it brings together more airline Chairmen, CEOs, top executives and principal decision-makers in the aviation industry than any aviation event in Africa.
Travel & Business News will be on hand to cover the event and bring you daily reports on the event via our online page at: travelandbusinessnews.blogspot.com. We look forward to seeing you there.
