Where Routes Are Negotiated, Investments Are Signed, And Partnerships Take Off
The runway is set, the engines are warming up, and Africa’s aviation future is ready for liftoff. From 10th to 12th June 2026, the spotlight will shine on Gaborone, Botswana, as the Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC) becomes the beating heart of Africa’s aviation ecosystem. This is where bold ideas gain altitude, strategic partnerships are sealed, and the future of air connectivity across the continent is reshaped. Welcome to AviaDev Africa 2026, Africa’s leading route development and aviation investment forum.
