Magazine Editor Confirmed As Chairman Of The Event

The third Nigerian Business Aviation Conference, NBAC 2016 has been set for March 17th and 18th, 2016 in Lagos, Nigeria.

EAN, the Lagos-based fully integrated business aviation company announced Tuesday that Alan Peaford, Editor in Chief of African Aerospace and Arabian Aerospace, as chair of the event. Alan chaired NBAC 2014 and is well positioned to lead the event with his extensive knowledge and understanding of the West African aviation landscape.

As with the previous event, 2016 will incorporate two days of panels, keynote speeches and debates. The main discussion points will focus on the theme of “Sustaining Nigeria's position on the African Business Aviation Landscape.” Discussions will incorporate changes in the business aviation sector within the national context of Nigeria, as well as the effects of regional, African and international development on the Nigerian business aviation sector.

New formats and themes will mean a diverse range of topics will be discussed at the event. In a first for NBAC, an opening panel will bring together international CAAs to discuss the creation and implementation of regulations and how these can be applied to Nigeria.  The effects of reduced crude oil prices will be debated by a panel representing the full spectrum of business aviation; whilst a rotary panel will discuss the importance of linking helicopters and executive aviation to support the hydrocarbon industry in Nigeria and further afield.

The last NBAC event brought together over 200 international and African delegates and it is anticipated that NBAC 2016 will once again attract HNWIs, OEMs, operators, financiers, lawyers, regulatory bodies and industry leaders.
