Key players in aviation across Africa gathered at the fourth edition of the Aviators Africa Conference in South Africa to celebrate excellence and sustainability in African aviation and to recognise brands and change makers that have contributed immensely to the development of African aviation.
The three-day event, which was themed, ‘Sustainability in African Aviation,’ was focused on the challenges faced by the aviation and tourism industry and recommended possible recovery paths to the challenges.
Speaking at the conference, the founder and CEO of Aviators Africa Conference and Tower Awards, Toni Ukachukwu, said the conference was aimed at pioneering sustainability initiatives in the African aviation eco-system whilst connecting it with tourism.
At the conference, Skyway Aviation Handling Company PLC (SAHCO) won the best Ground Handling Award in Africa.
