African Union members to join the AfBAA annual symposium
African Union members join the African Business Aviation Association's (AfBAA) annual symposium for the first time.
The symposium, held 24-25h September, will be attended by African Union’s Commissioner for Infrastructure and Energy, H.E. Dr Elham Ibrahim, who will share her thoughts during the key note speech on the opening day of the event.
The African Union delegation will join a selection of speakers, guided by Chairman Alan Peaford, Editor-in-Chief of African Aerospace, to debate a range of topics including the challenges of medical evacuations, the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for commercial purposes, and the the four pillars philosophy presented by Chairman and Founder Tarek Ragheb at the 2014 symposium.
Ragheb commented: “We are truly honoured to have the presence of the African Union. They recognise business aviation as an important economic driver for the continent and as we stick to our principal of advocating for government education we welcome their presence.”
