The workshop is jointly organized by ICAO (ESAF and WACAF Regional Offices), AFCAC, IATA, AFRAA and AASA, in collaboration with ACI Africa, CANSO, Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and the support of the European Union Safety Agency (EASA) through the EU funded project: “EU Support to the aviation sector in Africa (EU-SASA)”.

The workshop supports the continued implementation of ICAO’s policies on airport and air navigation charges (Doc 9082) and international air transport taxation (Doc 8632) in Africa. It will provide a platform for States, industry stakeholders and regional organizations to exchange experiences and promote transparent, cost-related, non-discriminatory and consultative approaches to aviation economic regulation.

The workshop will review progress since the Dakar Workshop (October 2025), consider the outcomes of ATConf/7, and discuss recent developments in aviation charges and taxation, including the implications of the revised Article 8 of the UN Model Tax Convention. Participants will also benefit from practical guidance and tools for the determination and application of charges, including the AFCAC Continental Roadmap and Template Economic Regulation, as well as IATA methodologies and tools that support economic oversight, stakeholder consultation and cost-based charging mechanisms.

Participation is strongly encouraged from Civil Aviation Authorities, Ministries responsible for Transport, Finance and Tourism, airport operators, air navigation service providers, airlines, Regional Economic Communities, development partners and other relevant stakeholders.
