Alan Peaford to chair Business Aviation Conference in Nigeria

EAN Aviation, a Lagos-based fully integrated business aviation company has announced that the third Nigerian Business Aviation Conference, NBAC 2016 will take place on 17th and 18th March 2016 in Lagos, Nigeria.  The event is in top gear with the Chairman being confirmed as Alan Peaford, Editor in Chief of African Aerospace and Arabian Aerospace. Alan chaired NBAC 2014 and is well positioned to lead the event with his extensive knowledge and understanding of the West African aviation landscape.

Segun Demuren, CEO of EAN, founder and host of the symposium comments: “We are delighted that Alan has agreed to chair our event again. He’s extremely knowledgeable, and knows how to extract the best from our panellists and speakers to ensure the event adds value to the business aviation knowledgebase. We are excited to be hosting the event once again and look forward to welcoming delegates, speakers and sponsors.”

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 bring together a diverse range of topics. 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.
