Exclusive market outlook: High growth or low growth?
Divided or as one? Four scenarios governing the future prosperity of African aviation. Despite recent progress in infrastructure developments, Africa is confronted with a variety of challenges to accommodate increased travel demands and must face rising global pressure for our sector to become more sustainable.
Will Africa’s potential be forever frustrated by outdated aviation equipment, poor infrastructure and technology and a lack of continental standardisation? Or can a growing urban middle class and a burgeoning tourist industry combined with a more united African sky see the continent make the jump from good to great? What does this mean for ground handling on the continent?
Markus Becker, Managing Director, Global Load Control
The GHI Big Debate: African aviation: how do we go from good to great after the Covid crisis?
After three disrupted years, African aviation is back on song with traffic reaching 95% of pre-pandemic levels and almost 85 million passenger expected to be carried by the continent’s airlines in 2023. However, are familiar frustrations over capacity constraints, factionalism and high costs about to flatten the growth curve?
Panellists include: Markus Becker, Managing Director, Global Load Control; Gaoussou Konate, Consulting Director Technical and Operations, African Airlines Association (AFRAA); Abdullah Kırımlı, Strategic Planning and Business Development Director, Celebi Aviation.
Technology: Digitisation of the African apron
The technological revolution has begun at ground handling stations around the world with operators using the pandemic as a springboard for overhauling paper-based process for digital. This session will ask business leaders at airlines, handlers and IT suppliers to create a blueprint for ensuring African operators are not left behind by advances in AI, automation and robotics.
What innovations are in play? And how does the supply chain come together to drive digital adoption amid enormous cost pressures?
