You'll hear policy before it's public: Ministers and regulators use this stage to signal what's coming next; ECOWAS tax implementation, SAATM's 2026 deadline, Nigeria's 20-year master plan. Knowing it six months early is worth more than knowing it from a press release.

AeroWest 2026
The deals are already moving. The question is whether you're in the room.
In the past six months, Nigeria recorded the highest aviation safety score in its history, ECOWAS abolished four aviation taxes across the region overnight, and the African Development Bank launched a $7 billion facility for African aviation, signing its first deal within weeks.
At the same time, West & Central Africa is on track to surpass 110 million air passengers by 2040, in a region now recognized as the world's fastest-growing tourism market.
AeroWest 2026 brings the people responsible for all of it; airlines, investors, regulators, and tourism boards, into one room in Lagos for three days, so the momentum turns into partnerships instead of headlines.

Why Attend?
What three days in this room actually gets you
You'll see what's actually being funded: Not theoretical innovation, the specific financing structures, leasing models, and technology already moving capital in this region, presented by the people deploying it.
You'll leave with a next step, not a takeaway: Every session is built around one question: what do you do with this on Monday? Case studies, not keynotes. Contacts, not certificates.
You'll get answers built for this market, not adapted from someone else's: No generic "global aviation trends" panel. Every insight here is filtered through West & Central Africa's specific constraints – and the people who've actually solved for them.

What you walk away with
What changes for you after Lagos
A room most people never get into
Direct access to the regulators, financiers, and airline leaders who usually only exist behind a press release.
Deals in motion, not just ideas
Real conversations with the investors and partners actively deploying capital into this region right now, not "let's stay in touch."
A shortlist, not a wishlist
Walk away with the two or three markets or opportunities worth your actual attention, not a folder of possibilities to sort through later.
Proof this is your market too
Come back able to make the case, to your board, your investors, your team, for why West & Central Africa deserves a real budget, not a watching brief.
