Kenya Airways CEO Allan Kilavuka has been appointed the new Chairperson of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA).
Kilavuka assumed the role of AFRAA Chairperson at the recent Annual General Assembly and Summit in Cairo and will lead the association for a one-year term, with the possibility of renewal.
He will be responsible for guiding AFRAA’s strategic direction, representing the interests of its member airlines, and advocating for policies that promote the growth, sustainability and global competitiveness of Africa's aviation industry.
Kilavuka succeeds João Carlos Pó Jorge, the outgoing Chairperson and CEO of LAM Mozambique, who has led AFRAA for the past two years.
Founded in 1968, AFRAA comprises over 40 airlines, including leading carriers from across the continent, representing more than 85% of African air transport.
