African Airline Association Gets New President
At the close of the 46th general meeting of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA), organized by Air Algérie Mrs. Fatima Beyina-Moussa, managing director of ECAir (Equatorial Congo Airlines) has been named president of AFRAA.
According to a statement issued today by ECAir, Beyina-Moussa has headed the national airline of the Republic of the Congo since its creation in 2011.
A graduate of HEC Montreal with an MBA from the University of Ottawa, Beyina-Moussa obtained a DEA (postgraduate degree) in International Economics at Sciences Po in Paris, and went on to become a consultant in Congo for Ernst & Young.
She later joined the Bank of Central African States (BEAC), and then worked for the United Nations Development Program before being named an adviser to the Ministry of Finance, Budget and Public Portfolio. One of the key matters she dealt with was the establishment of a national airline.
Next November, the national airline of the Republic of the Congo, ECAir, will host the 47th annual general meeting of AFRAA in Brazzaville.
“In three years, we have been on a journey with our company,” said Beyina-Moussa.”We have trained many Congolese people in aviation trades and our network is growing, along with our fleet. AFRAA represents continuity and complementarity. It is an excellent opportunity to promote our air transport policy and to stimulate discussions with our partners.”
