\nbderahmane Berthe, African Airlines Association (AFRAA) Secretary General, emphasised the importance of dialogue among stakeholders and collaborative initiatives such as those facilitated by AFRAA.”AFRAA and Ethiopian Airlines are excited to stage this convention for the travel ecosystem stakeholders to meet, deliberate on strategies to enhance efficiencies, create synergies, develop intra-Africa connectivity, ensure business continuity that will redefine the narrative of Africa air transport industry,” Berthe said.
\nFRAA is the leading trade association of airlines from the member states of the African Union (AU).Mesfin Bekele, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO, said the convention of AFRAA will serve as a forum for stakeholders in the industry to discuss the opportunities and pressing issues in Africa’s aviation sector.
