Group To Discuss Aviation Sustainability Amid Macroeconomic Challenges

Stakeholders in Nigeria’s aviation industry are set to discuss the way forward for the nation’s aviation sector.

The conference titled, ‘Aviation Survivability Amidst Challenging Macro-economics Environment,’ is put together by the League of Airport and Aviation Correspondents (LAAC).

According to a statement made available to LEADERSHIP, LAAC said, this year’s conference was informed by the challenging state of the country’s economy which has amplified the already existing constraints to growth and development of Nigeria’s aviation industry.

The challenges are: poor access to forex, weakening currency, high fuel costs, maintenance costs, poor airports infrastructure, regulatory constraints, growing manpower demands, technology upgrade, passenger comfort, among other issues that require urgent attention of industry stakeholders.

The conference, the organisers said, presents an opportunity for  organisations to highlight its activities as it is expected to attract over 200 aviation industry professionals cutting across the aviation agencies, security agencies, international and domestic airlines operating in Nigeria, aviation support services, including travel service providers and tour operators

LAAC is Nigeria’s aviation media umbrella body saddled with the responsibility of ensuring effective media coverage and practice in the aviation industry, and the LAAC Annual Seminar has over the years, made an unquantifiable impact on Nigeria’s aviation sector by throwing up policy, management and operational issues for public discussion.

Aviation and allied business organisations have equally taken advantage of sponsorship opportunities presented by this event to sell their products and services. This 2024 edition presents yet another opportunity.

“This year’s conference is peculiar because it will focus on the industry’s survival and sustenance which constitutes a major  subject of discussion in a time like this. There shall be both physical and virtual participation in the conference to enable participation of stakeholders from across the world,” says the chairman, LAAC Conference Planning Committee, Chinedu Eze.
