Airports Editor, Arabian Aerospace & African Aerospace
Summary
Chloe Greenbank wrote her first airline magazine article two decades ago and has been immersed in aviation magazines ever since. She is a highly experienced editor and reporter specialising in the global aerospace industry.
A regular contributor to African Aerospace, she also edits Regional Gateway. Having lived and worked in Rwanda she has also worked closely with several African airlines, including Air Burkina and Korongo Airlines on their inflight titles, as well as Brussels Airlines. She cites landing in the middle of Central Africa in the cockpit of a Boeing 737 as one of the highlights in her career.
Oh, and she’s been thrown by a silverback gorilla. But that’s a story for another time…
Recent work at Berbera International Airport in Somaliland has included a full refurbishment of the terminal building and the control tower, as well as investment in aviation security, ground-handling, firefighting vehicles, and connection of the airport to the city grid.
While African airports rely heavily on aviation charges and fees as their primary sources of income, new investment in travel retail and duty-free concessions is paving the way for growth in the sector.
