Three Days, One marketplace, And Unlimited Growth Opportunities
The runway is ready, the engines are primed, and Africa’s aviation story is preparing for its next bold ascent. From 10th to 12th June 2026, all eyes will turn to Gaborone, Botswana, as the Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC) transforms into the epicentre of African aviation. This is where powerful ideas gain momentum, strategic alliances are forged, and the future of air connectivity across the continent is shaped.
Welcome to AviaDev Africa 2026, the continent’s premier route development and aviation investment forum.
More Than a Conference — Africa’s Aviation Deal Room
AviaDev Africa is not a conventional event. It is Africa’s only forum dedicated exclusively to route development, air connectivity, and aviation investment. This is where airline executives, airport leaders, tourism authorities, investors, regulators, and policymakers meet with a shared objective: to unlock new routes, accelerate sustainable growth, and connect Africa more efficiently to itself and the world.
At AviaDev, conversations don’t end on stage. They turn into agreements. Strategies evolve into schedules. Ambitions move decisively from concept to execution.
Why Botswana? A Host Ready to Lead
Choosing Botswana as host sends a clear and confident message. Celebrated for its pristine landscapes, sustainability leadership, and rapidly growing tourism appeal, Botswana is emerging as a compelling aviation and investment destination. Its strategic location, stability, and progressive outlook make it the perfect backdrop for an event redefining Africa’s aviation trajectory.
As Botswana strengthens its role in regional trade, tourism, and connectivity, AviaDev Africa 2026 becomes a powerful catalyst, unlocking new routes, partnerships, and long-term opportunities across the continent.
