Africa-Press – Namibia. THE Namibia Airports Company (NAC) will host an aviation and connectivity forum from 16 to 18 November at the Safari Court Hotel in Windhoek with various speakers lined up.
NAC marketing officer Dan Kamati says 35 renowned local, regional, and international speakers will be deliberating on the reports of working groups which have done the groundwork on nine areas the forum would focus on.
“At the commencement of the main event on 17 November, each working group will present a summary of their key outcomes to the delegates.
“Their detailed working papers and reports will contribute to the ultimate white paper for the forum at the end of the main event,” Kamati says.
He says the nine key areas to be deliberated on are regulatory reforms, training and skills development, route development and regional and international connectivity, infrastructure investment, the possibility of a future airline, cargo development, aviation’s place in oil discovery and green hydrogen advances, sustainability in the Namibian aviation sector, as well as enhancing the role of aviation as an enabler for tourism.
“The purpose of the forum, a first of its kind for Namibia, is to create a platform where key industry players and stakeholders will share, tackle, rethink and put into motion ideas on the trajectory that the aviation industry and its related ecosystems will take over the next few years,” Kamati says.
He says it will further cement the industry’s role as key to Namibia’s economic recovery and growth, as well as driving the revival of the aviation and other ancillary industries, such as tourism, after the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
