In the heart of East Africa, Nairobi, Kenya, we at Kenya Airways were proud to host the 37th IATA Ground Handling Conference (IGHC), the very first of its kind to happen on African soil. This was not just a conference for us; rather a powerful testament to the leading role we see ourselves playing in shaping the future of aviation across our continent. In his declaration our CEO Mr. Allan Kilavuka remarked, "We recognize the critical importance of ground handling, the core focus of this conference, to our very operations. As a significant ground handler here in Nairobi, likely the largest at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, and also in Mombasa, ground handling is an indispensable part to our airline’s existence. This is our daily reality, and we are deeply invested in its efficiency and safety."
