Under new leadership, the African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA) is taking on a busy agenda to expand its reach throughout Africa and more formally structure the organization.

AfBAA confirmed Krimson Aviation founder, chairman, and CEO Dawit Lemma as the chair of the organization and Craig Middleton as vice chair, effective Monday, with the departure of Bestfly co-founder and executive director Alcinda Pereira on May 1. Also, the association outlined plans to renew the association’s mission, vision, and goals as it seeks to work with 40 different civil aviation authorities across the continent and represent a range of aviation operations and diverse membership.
