February 13, 2019//-The Ato Girma Wake Lifetime Achievement Award for an outstanding contribution to route development in Africa is a coveted award named in honour of the Godfather of African aviation, Ato Girma Wake.
Few people have done more to advance the connectivity of African aviation than the former Ethiopian Airlines CEO, who laid the foundations of the success we see today.
It is with great pleasure that we announce that the recipient of the 2019 award will be Chris Zweigenthal, CEO of the Airlines Association of Southern Africa.
The climax to the conference will be a one on one interview between Ato Girma and Chris, which will explore the origins of Chris’ passion, his journey and will allow him to share his learnings with the community.
Last year’s worthy recipient was Raphael Kuuchi, Special Envoy on Aero-political Affairs, IATA and you can watch the full interview or listen via the AviaDev Insight Africa podcast
