The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has issued a certificate of Aviation Operator (AOC) to Falcon Aerospace Limited, a business airline that operates as Vivajets, amid the company's rapid global expansion.
This development means more options for air passengers on local routes.
AOC allows airlines or charter operators to use aircraft for commercial purposes. This is an important certification that demonstrates compliance with aviation safety standards.
“We are excited to announce in January 2025 that the NCAA has awarded AOC, a key milestone to become Africa's largest and most efficient business aviation provider,” said Chukuerika Achum, CEO of Vivajets.
“This certification from our home country makes business aviation more accessible and further strengthens our ability to provide the critical business connections that Africa needs through seamless and efficient air transport,” added Achum.
Certification is upon a time for rapid global expansion and innovation for businesses. Vivajets offers a variety of services, including aircraft management, fractional ownership options, and the ability to charter or own private jets.
“We are rapidly expanding our operations at the global stage in North America, Europe and the Middle East, as well as our offices in Canada. We have also sponsored, exhibited or participated in international events such as the World Economic Forum (WEF), Africa CEO Forum (ACF), Africa Air Force Summit, Investment in the Africa Summit, Africa Investment Summit (AFIS), and have also used technology innovation to create a digital platform that improves access and affordability for business aviation services.”
“We are currently seeking collaboration and investment to continue using AOCs to expand our fleet and global routes, and to promote rapid growth and international expansion,” Salami added.
