On Friday, July 26, 2024, stakeholders in Nigeria’s aviation industry will assemble at Providence Hotel, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos for the 28th edition of the Annual Conference of the League of Airport and Aviation Correspondents (LAAC), to chart a way forward for the sector.
The theme of this year’s conference is: ‘AVIATION SURVIVABILITY AMIDST A CHALLENGING MACRO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT.’
The Conference which was initially slated for July 25, 2024 at Sheraton Hotel Ikeja will now hold on July 26, 2024 at Providence Hotel, GRA, Ikeja.
The theme of 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 in form of poor access to forex, weakening currency, high cost of Jet A1, 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 annual conference presents an opportunity for organizations 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 discuss. This has resulted in tremendously significant evidential changes in Nigeria’s aviation sector.
Aviation and allied business organizations have equally taken advantage of sponsorship opportunities presented by this event to sell their products and services. The 2024 edition presents yet another opportunity.
Chairman, LAAC Conference Planning Committee. Chinedu Eze said, 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.”
