The Association of African Air Forces (AAAF) sponsored by U.S. Air Forces Africa, along with the Senegalese Air Force, are co-hosting the 12th annual African Air Chiefs Symposium in Dakar, Senegal, February 27 – March 3, 2023.

Approximately 40 African countries are participating in this AACS. The AACS program serves as an opportunity to build on previous symposia, expand membership of the Association of African Air Forces, identify key challenges confronting African air chiefs, strengthen partner networks, discuss strategic airlift, and share best practices for enhancing partner capacity.

This year’s symposium will feature various small-group sessions to foster a spirit of collaboration, a senior enlisted leader forum, and cultural events to strengthen the partnership between all nations involved.
