Aviation Africa Summit and Exhibition 2024 promises to be an exceptional event with an outstanding turnout.
With just a few days to go until the Aviation AFRICA Summit and Exhibition 2024, event sponsor, the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) and organiser Times Aerospace have announced that South Africa’s Minister of Transport, Barbara Creecy, will present the keynote and opening address.
Creecy is the country’s newly appointed Minister of Transport. She recently assumed this position in South Africa’s Government of National Unity (GNU).
“We are honoured to welcome Minster Creecy to open Aviation AFRICA in what will be one of her first aviation event engagements since being appointed to the role on 3 July 2024 in the new Government of National Unity of South Africa,” said organiser Mark Brown.
