Future of Aviation in Africa - Will it survive COVID-19?
In light of announcements from Virgin Australia and Air Mauritius, Invest Africa Insights held an extended webinar on the COVID-19 crisis and how it will impact the aviation sector in Africa. Panellists discussed the future for the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, whether countries across the continent should continue with the 'National Carriers' model, pilot shortages and the potential for relaxation on business leases in both private and commercial aviation. Thank you to Rob Hersov, Chairman of Invest Africa for chairing the discussion, Tony Payne, Partner at DLA Piper for moderating the conversation so expertly and to our panellists: Rodger Foster, CEO of Airlink, James Hogan, Executive Chairman of Knighthood Capital Partners, Allan Kilavuka, Group CEO of Kenya Airways, Yvonne Makolo, CEO of Rwandair and Nick van der Meer, COO of Vistajet for your invaluable contributions.
