Aviation stakeholders to discuss their survival at LAAC Conference

The 28th Annual Conference of the League of Airport and Aviation Correspondents (LAAC) will, on Friday, July 26, 2024, set the stage for stakeholders in Nigeria’s aviation at Providence Hotel, Ikeja to chart a way forward for their survival.

The theme of the conference is  ‘Aviation Survivability Amidst A Challenging Macro-Economic Environment.’

Mr. Chinedu Eze, Chairman, LAAC Conference Planning Committee, said the theme of the 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.

“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.
