AfBAA Seeks to Play Wider Role

African bizav association is preparing its next major event at Lanseria near Johannesburg as it focuses on gathering data on key markets.

The African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA), which launched five years ago at EBACE 2012, is back with its “Africa Pavilion” (Booth V70) and news about a significant new event at Lanseria Airport near Johannesburg this November.

Rady Fahmy, AfBAA executive director and CEO, told AIN that the African Business Aviation Conference (AfBAC) will take place at Execujet’s facility at Lanseria, northwest of Johannesburg, November 30–December 1 (two weeks after the Dubai Air Show) rebranded as AfBAA Expo. AfBAA’s original plan was to hold an event in Cape Town, November 8-11. Last year’s AfBAC event there proved very successful, said Fahmy. But having spoken to OEMs and other stakeholders, he said, they determined that Jo’burg was the “centre of gravity” for business aviation for South Africa, if not for the entire southern half of the continent. He admitted that “it was a difficult decision to move away from Cape Town.”
