The African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA) has announced the line-up of dignitaries and speakers that will be attending its third Annual Symposium, to be held at the Sheraton Addis Hotel, Ethiopia, on 24-25 September.

Editor-in-chief of African Aerospace Alan Peaford will chair the symposium once more, and senior representatives from the African Union will underline the role business aviation plays in supporting industry. Senior officials from the Ethiopian and other African governments are also anticipated to attend.

“The event is already receiving interest from a number of corporate sponsors which value the platform the symposium offers,” says Tarek Ragheb, AfBAA founding chairman. “We want to encourage a full range of delegates to attend and also encourage them to help set the agenda through our interactive round tables. We've revised our sponsorship with a wider range of options so more companies can take the opportunity of exposure to this influential audience. We are very excited about this one.”
