Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority Director General Getachew Mengistie has resigned from his post to join the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC).
AFCAC hired Mengistie as Air Transport Director. Mengistie served the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority for more than three years. During his tenure Mengistie worked hard to transform the Ethiopian aviation industry. He has drafted the aviation industry reform program aiming at enhancing the private sector investment in the aviation sector.
Mengsitie has a wealth of experience in the aviation industry. He was state Minister of Transport leading the aviation sector under his watch. Later he was appointed permanent representative of the Ethiopian government in the ICAO headquarters in Montreal Canada. Yohannes Abera, director of Air Traffic Management with the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority , is appointed as the new director general replacing Mengistie.
