From Island Deals To Continental Impact, Africa’s Aviation Future Takes Its Next Leap In Gaborone, June 10–12, 2026
From June 11th to 13th, 2025, Zanzibar wasn’t just a tropical paradise, it became the beating heart of African aviation. AviaDev Zanzibar 2025, hosted at the stunning Golden Tulip Zanzibar Airport, wasn’t your average conference. It was a launchpad for bold ideas, strategic partnerships, and visionary plans that promise to redefine the skies over Africa.
A Sky-High Gathering of Leaders
Airline CEOs, airport executives, tourism boards, investors, policymakers, and suppliers from across Africa and beyond gathered for three days of high-energy dialogue and decisive action. They tackled route development, sustainability, and innovation, proving that Africa’s aviation revolution is not on the horizon, it’s already here.
Business, Island Style
With Zanzibar’s turquoise waters and rich cultural heritage as the backdrop, networking became an experience in itself. Deals were closed over beachfront cocktails, partnerships were forged in private roundtables, and inspiration flowed as freely as the island breeze. Spice tours, UNESCO-listed treasures, and white-sand escapes made this event as unforgettable as it was impactful.
Next Destination: Gaborone – June 10th–12th, 2026
