Dr Olusegun Harold Demuren, former Director General, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, keynote speaker, Saptco Dialogue
Sequel to the successful launch of flight operations to London Heathrow Airport by Air Peace, arrangements have been made for experts to converge in Lagos to brainstorm, analyse current and historical events, and provide foolproof recommendations that will ensure the long-term viability and profitability of the London route.
The organiser of the talk show, Saptco Communication Limited, has announced that former Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Dr Harold Demuren, will deliver the keynote address, and Air Peace Chairman, Dr Allen Onyema, will chair the event slated for Wednesday, November 26th, at the NCAA Annexe training Centre.
Speaking on the forthcoming event, Chief Operating Officer, COO, of Saptco Communication Limited, Mr Sam Adurogboye, said the high-level industry dialogue is themed, “International Politics: The Survival of Nigerian Carriers on the London Route.”
He also said the dialogue will further enrich Nigerian carriers, not only to survive the international aero-politics on the London route in particular and international routes generally, but to realise good returns on investment and prosper in their operations.
Adurogboye said, “As competition intensifies on the lucrative Nigeria–London corridor and the geopolitical dynamics shaping market access, this strategic engagement will examine the complex interplay between international aviation politics, regulatory frameworks, bilateral air service agreements, and the commercial realities confronting Nigerian airlines.”
He explained further, “We have one of the newest Nigerian flag carriers, Air Peace, operating the London route, so we will speak on the operational, economic, and the challenges from competition facing indigenous airlines in a landscape historically dominated by foreign carriers.”
The lecture, according to the former General Manager of Public Affairs of NCAA, will also highlight policy gaps and opportunities for government intervention, explore strategies for strengthening Nigeria’s position in international aviation markets and promote collaborative solutions among stakeholders.
Dr Demuren, renowned for his expertise in global aviation regulation and safety oversight, has affirmed that he would provide deep insights into how policy, negotiation, and international diplomacy influence route sustainability.
“Saptco Communication Limited is organising this event as part of its commitment to fostering informed dialogue, policy clarity, and industry growth within Nigeria’s aviation sector.” He said in an electronic document.
