Experts and stakeholders in the air transport and allied industries will address the challenges facing the sector at the 28th Annual Conference of the League of Airports and Aviation Correspondents (LAAC) next month in Lagos.
Key speakers include Dr. Thomas Ogungbangbe, CEO and Founder of CITA Aviation Fueling Company Limited; Capt. Samuel Caulcrick, former Rector of the Nigeria College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria; Dr. Alex Nwuba, Second Vice President of the Aviation Safety Round Table Initiative (ASRTI); and Dr. Richard Aisuebeogun, former Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). They will discuss how Nigeria’s challenging economic conditions have exacerbated existing issues in the aviation industry.
These experts will provide insights on various critical issues such as poor access to forex, a weakening currency, high fuel and maintenance costs, inadequate airport infrastructure, regulatory constraints, increasing manpower demands, the need for technology upgrades, and passenger comfort.
