The ongoing outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) has claimed yet another MICE victim as the organizers of AviaDev Africa 2020 have announced the postponement of the aviation event.

The event will now take place from 28 - 30 September 2020. It was originally scheduled to take place from 6 to 8 May, 2020 in Antananarivo, Madagascar.

In an email sent to media partners, the organizers said the postponement was to ensure the wellbeing of all attendees including regional and international participants. Delegates who are already registered for the event should not worry as their registration will be automatically transferred over to the new dates.

AviaDev is the latest event to suffer from the COVID-19 outbreak. Other major international events have been postponed including ITB Berlin, Aviation Festival Asia, AHIC, and FIHA.
