Amman to Host CAPA Middle East & Africa Aviation Summit 2020

Amman, with the support of Airport International Group, has been confirmed as the host city of the CAPA Middle East & Africa Aviation Summit, scheduled to take place 2-3 March 2020.

The summit, expected to attract about 200 delegates, will seek to examine the commercial and operational issues affecting airlines and airports in Africa and the Middle East. With a specific focus on emerging local markets and growth prospects in key international hubs to support traffic growth, this is a must attend event for the region.

CAPA Chairman Emeritus, Peter Harbison said, “Following the success of our 2019 CAPA Middle East & Africa Aviation Summit in Dubai, this event has proven to be a vital platform to challenge leaders from across the region to reflect on the current state of the industry. Both regions have achieved significant progress, and by examining key innovations from outside markets during the Summit, we can collectively help to propel the local industry forward.”

Airport International Group is a Jordanian consortium of local and international investors with proven experience in airport rehabilitation, enhancement, operation and management. In 2007, following an international tender, the Government of Jordan awarded Airport International Group a 25-year Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) concession agreement to manage the rehabilitation, expansion and operation of the award-winning Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) - Jordan’s prime gateway to the world.

Kjeld Binger, Airport International Group CEO, said, “Serving as a powerful platform that actively advances the aviation sector, the CAPA Middle East & Africa Aviation Summit is expected to produce positive outcomes and viable solutions that elevate the air travel and tourism experiences. We are eagerly looking forward to hosting the Summit for the first time in Jordan next year, cementing the Kingdom’s standing as a prime destination for prominent international industry events, while promoting its vibrant tourism sector, rich culture and warm hospitality.”
