ROUTE DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA
Route development in Africa can be a difficult task due to having to consult with numerous stakeholders before being able to get the ball rolling.
As route development is often a complex task, the AviaDev conference is beneficial as it brings together various stakeholders to a single location.
Thus, enabling airlines, airports, aircraft producers, regulators and other relevant stakeholders to discuss and embrace opportunities.
GROWING AIR CONNECTIVITY IN AFRICA
However, enhanced air connectivity does not simply entail setting up new air routes.
It also includes increasing capacity on existing routes, through the use of larger aircraft with more seats.
AVIADEV 2025 EVENT
The date has been set for AviaDev’s next conference.
The next event aimed at focussing on expanding air connectivity in Africa will take place from 11 to 13 June, 2025.
The picturesque island of Zanzibar will host the event, which in fact promises to provide superb opportunities for stakeholders to discover new opportunities.
Such events are often catalysts to new air routes being launched or to increasing capacity on existing routes.
Registration is indeed now open for AviaDev 2025, taking place at the Golden Tulip Zanzibar Airport at www.aviadev.com.
