Proud to be held under the auspices of the Government of Rwanda

Aviation Africa is a major trade event for the aerospace and defence industries.
The event is a 2-day summit and exhibition. Speakers will include Air Chiefs, leaders from African airlines, civil aviation authorities, business aviation & support industries. 2019 will host over 800 attendees while the co-located exhibition will feature over 100 global aviation companies.

For 2019 the Government of Rwanda represented by the Rwandan Civil Aviation Authority, RwandAir, Rwanda Development Board, Rwanda Air Force & Rwanda Airports Company again supports the event.

The conference has two parallel streams, conference room 1 is dedicated to the Aviation Africa summit which covers the key strategic issues facing the civil aviation industry across the continent, the theme for 2019 is “Flying Forward Together” and its aim is to help develop partnerships for Arica’s future skies.  Subjects will include safety, security, environment, unmanned potential, MRO & finance as well as a focus on Airport strategy.

While in conference room 2 there will be our new African Air Chiefs conference run in association with Rwanda Air Force and hosted by Maj. Gen.
