Carla da Silva, Air Mauritius Regional Manager, Africa and Latin America, presided over the formal proceedings of the awards, with much pride over the first-rate achievements of the industry, despite yet another challenging year navigated through turbulent aviation airspace. “The current economic climate in South Africa, combined with a weaker rand, has led to increased volatility and subsequently less value for the consumer. However, all our winners this evening have managed to achieve fantastic sales volumes and good revenues.”

“2016 is the year of acceleration, of dramatic advancement in novel business models and leading innovation. A year of new dreams, realisations and solutions.”
