According to the organisers of Chinet 2022, the promise had been fulfilled as the state returns to engage aviation professionals in order to exploit the inherent opportunities in the industry.

As Cargo is the fastest growing sector of the aviation industry with the airport promises to tap into this huge market, other state cargo airports are therefore expected to join in the day 2 discussion at the 2022 edition of the event.
