Last November African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA) has been appointed as the 15th member of IBAC.
IBAA, expressing its congratulations for such important achievement, is glad to host here a brief profile of the AfBAA to better appreciate the great work done so far by the African Association for its community.
The AfBAA acts as a pan-African voice which advocates the benefits of business aviation to the continent’s 54 nations. The Association’s vision is focused on establishing business aviation as an asset that is recognised, valued and supported by governments, their respective Civil Aviation Authorities, enterprises, entrepreneurs and business leaders across Africa, from north to south, and east to west.
The Association uses a variety of mediums including advocacy, events, communications and networking relationships, to promote the understanding and benefits that the industry brings to the continent’s economic development and prosperity.
AfBAA represents more than 100 members representing the full spectrum of aviation. OEMs, international trip planners, fuel providers and manufacturers sit alongside Africa-based operators, FBOs and suppliers. Using the guiding principles of safety, security, integrity, advocacy, and training AfBAA has supported its members helping them to grow and evolve along with the Association by augmenting the network, experience and knowledge AfBAA brings to them. One of the Association’s proudest achievements is the networking opportunities provided through the series of symposia, forums and events which bring together stakeholders to be educated, informed and inspired. Informal information exchange is vital for AfBAA.
As an Association, AfBAA has generated collective energy, experience, and resources to support, improve, and fuel the continued growth of African Business Aviation. AfBAA has achieved this thanks to the participation of their members both national, and international. After all, Africa does not operate in global isolation. All have contributed to creating a professional, effective, credible organisation that is dedicated to upholding the long-term vision and values of AfBAA, and all those it represents. To ensure this continued development for AfBAA it is crucial that they continue to create frameworks on which the future of African business aviation can be laid out. Having recently joined IBAC, the Association is committed to continuing to identify, address and implement solutions across a range of critical issues, which support the sustainable growth of African industry.
