About the Forum

The Namibia Aviation and Connectivity Forum comes at a time where there is a need to rethink and reimagine the trajectory which should be taken by the industry in light of the recent devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to various matters it will tackle, this Forum will bring to the fore, the discussion around how aviation can play a central role in the attainment of national aspirations such as Harambee Prosperity Plan (HPP2), National Development Plans (NDPs) and the national transport policy.
