Airports Council International (ACI) World and ACI Latin America and the Caribbean (ACI-LAC) have announced that the ACI-LAC/World Annual General Assembly, Conference and Exhibition (WAGA), will be hosted by the Egyptian Holding Company for Airports and Air Navigation (EHCAAN) next year.
The 2027 ACI Africa/World Annual General Assembly, Conference & Exhibition hosted by EHCAAN will take place in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, from 16 to 22 October of next year.
Having just concluded the 2026 event in Lima, ACI World Director General Justin Erbacci said: “What stood out in Lima was how aligned our industry is. Airport leaders from every region left this week with a shared understanding of what the next decade demands: more capacity, the right conditions to facilitate investment and a passenger experience centred on people.
“Just as important, they left determined to deliver on it together. I thank Lima Airport and ACI-LAC for hosting an outstanding edition. We look forward to continuing these conversations in Egypt next year, another major gateway that showcases the power of connectivity.”
ACI Africa Secretary General Ali Tounsi said: “WAGA 2027 will once again bring the global airport community to Africa, reflecting the continent’s growing importance in shaping the future of aviation. Hosted in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, it will be an opportunity to showcase the progress and ambition of African airports, forge stronger partnerships and advance connectivity across our continent. Egypt and Africa are ready to welcome the world.”
EHCAAN Chairman Eng. Aiman Arab said: “We are honoured to welcome the global airport community to Egypt for WAGA 2027. We extend our sincere appreciation to our colleagues in Peru for their outstanding hospitality and for bringing the industry together for a successful 2026 edition.
“As we prepare to host WAGA next year, we look forward to building on that momentum and creating new opportunities for dialogue, collaboration and knowledge exchange. We are proud that Egypt will provide the setting for these important conversations, while also highlighting the growing contribution of Africa to the global airport community.”
