"WITHOUT PASSING THE BATON, THE FUTURE OF AVIATION IS AT RISK" - WARNS ANAC LEADER

At the center of the debate was a silent but urgent problem: the generational gap.

The sector is going through a moment of transition and only a planned and sustainable staff renewal will guarantee the safety and growth of national aviation.

"New talents bring energy and the will to win. But the experience is with those who have already built this sector. It is up to the institutions to create bridges so that this

knowledge is not lost. We cannot leave the future to chance. Succession plans are not an option. They are a strategic priority," he argued.

WOMEN LEADING THE TRANSFORMATION

Held as part of African Women's Day, the event brought together female voices that are transforming aviation in Angola.

At the round table, moderated by Mónica Cristino, from TAAG, the leader of ANAC shared the stage with Deputy Ângela Bragança and stylist Nadir Taty. The three addressed topics such as trajectory, resilience and the role of women in building a more inclusive sector.

The new generation was also present. Jumara Baptista and Leandra João, from TAAG's AB INITIO TMA Program, showed that the future has already begun. Alongside them, the young robotics engineers Mangana João and Catarina Cayambo proved that innovation and aviation go hand in hand.

The meeting also included Clóvis Rosa, CEO of TAAG, and Neide Teixeira, responsible for Human Capital at the company. The initiative was inspired by the 3rd Global Summit on Gender in Aviation, held in Luanda in July.

For ANAC, the message is clear: training, retaining and inspiring talent is the only way to keep Angola competitive in the skies of Africa and the world.
