CORE VALUES

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Nigeria’s aviation sector is set for strong growth in 2025 and beyond, driven by policy reforms, infrastructure upgrades, and AfCFTA regional integration—especially in air cargo and helicopter charters.

The air cargo market, valued at USD 8.18 billion, is expanding on the back of e-commerce (USD 6.7 billion in 2023), new intra-African routes, and rising non-oil exports like perishables and pharmaceuticals, forecast to grow 11.2% CAGR through 2030. Domestic freight is growing 9.8% CAGR, supported by improved regional airports, cold-chain logistics, and projects like Ogidigben Gas Park driving time-critical charter demand.

Helicopter charters, worth USD 43 million in 2025 with 7.5% annual growth, are buoyed by offshore oil operations, VIP transport, tourism, and medevac services. Operators are expanding fleets, with opportunities in corporate demand and fractional ownership despite regulatory levies.

Additional openings in MRO, leasing, and airport concessions are attracting private capital, reinforcing Nigeria’s emergence as a West African aviation hub.
