LAAC 2024 Conference: Stakeholders To Discuss Survivability Amidst Challenging Macro-Economic Environment
Stakeholders in Nigeria’s aviation industry will on Friday, July 26, 2024, 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 under the theme, ‘AVIATION SURVIVABILITY AMIDST A CHALLENGING MACRO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT.’
The Conference which was originally slated for 25th July, 2024 at Sheraton Hotels, Ikeja will now hold on July 26th, 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 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 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. 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,” says Mr. Chinedu Eze, Chairman, LAAC Conference Planning Committee.
There shall be both physical and virtual participation in the conference to enable participation of stakeholders from across the world.
