Who attends
CEOs and senior leadership from AFRAA member airlines (most major African carriers), African civil aviation authorities, ICAO and AFCAC representatives, ASECNA and other ANSPs, OEMs (Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, ATR), lessors and aviation finance providers, MROs serving the African fleet, and a substantial pilot training provider contingent active in the African market.
Why flight schools attend
If your school recruits African students for ab-initio training, partners with African airlines on cadet programmes, or is positioning to fill the continent's pilot and technician training shortage, AFRAA's AGA is the most senior pan-African room you can be in once per year. The CEO-level attendance compresses what would otherwise take a multi-country tour into three days. Schools without African market exposure typically find more direct value at AERO South Africa or Aviation Africa Summit at the operational level.
Frequently Asked Questions
The African Airlines Association — the regional airline industry body for the African continent, founded in 1968. AFRAA represents 40+ African carriers covering more than 85% of the continent's international and intra-African capacity. The Annual General Assembly is its most senior gathering.
AFRAA AGA is the African airline industry's own governing assembly — CEO-level, member-airline-dominated, policy and agenda-setting. Aviation Africa Summit is a commercial conference organised by an independent organiser, drawing a broader operator and supplier audience. Both are useful for different reasons; serious African-market schools typically attend at least one of each per year.
The 58th AFRAA AGA & Summit runs November 15-17 2026 in Libreville, Gabon. Confirmed via afraa.org. The Assembly rotates host cities annually; recent editions have been held in Luanda, Khartoum, Cairo, Kigali, and Nairobi.
