Eid Mubarak from all of us at VivaJets

Our Head of Business Transformation and Strategy shares his perspective on the shifts shaping the future of business aviation in Africa, from improved connectivity and infrastructure development to greater access to capital across the continent.

As Africa’s economies expand, business aviation will become increasingly essential in enabling faster decision-making, seamless cross-border movement, and more efficient access to emerging markets.

Africa’s growth story should not be written for the continent. It must be written by the continent.

Speaking with Arise News at the Africa CEO Forum 2026, our CEO, Erika Achum underscored the need for African entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders to be actively represented in the conversations shaping the continent’s economic future.

He also addressed the rising cost of jet fuel and its impact on operating expenses, highlighting one of the key realities influencing the economics of business aviation across Africa.

For Africa to unlock its full potential, bold ideas must be matched by the connectivity and infrastructure that turn vision into ex*****on.
