Rwanda to host Aviation Africa

Kigali - Aviation Africa 2017 will take place on February 22 and 23 2017 in Kigali, Rwanda.

The event is a two-day conference and exhibition focused on all aspects of the aviation industry including commercial, military, business, infrastructure, regulatory and safety.
 
The event is supported by the Rwandan government, including the Ministry of Infrastructure, Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority and RwandAir.

According to Colonel Silas Udahemuka, director general of the Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority, aerospace and aviation are extremely important sectors for Rwanda and the country is investing heavily in this sector through its airline, airport infrastructure and its people.  

"We are confident that Aviation Africa will attract large numbers of participants and visitors through our invitation programme and look forward to welcoming the global aviation industry to Rwanda,” he said.
 
According to the latest forecast of the International Air Transport Association (Iata), Rwanda is one of the ten African countries who’s aviation market is expected to grow by 7% to 8% each year on average over the next 20 years, doubling in size each decade.
 
The event in 2017 will host over 50 global exhibitors and up to 500 delegates from across the African continent and the global aerospace industry which are looking to grow their business in Africa. The event takes place at the Radisson Blu Hotel and Convention Centre in Kigali.
