Falcon Aerospace Limited, through its flagship brand Vivajets, says the airlines strongly believe that Africa's prosperity lies in air connections across the continent.
Airlines CEO Chukwuerika Achum said this during the celebration of the Airlines Certificate issued by Nigeria's Civil Aviation Authority.
The opportunity, held in Lagos, saw the exhibition of newly designed cabin crew uniforms as well as the spectacular presentations of the international travel and lifestyle magazines mentioned above.
According to the airline boss, in just two years, Falcon Aerospace has grown from a visionary startup without a fleet, expanding and expanding fleet growth, global routes, international collaborations and pioneering innovations into a fully licensed airline.
He also said the company currently boasts its digital aviation platforms, FlyPJX, Charterxe, and high-tech and business incubation arms, Instig Labs and Adrenalina.
Looking back at the airline's journey, Achum said: “Our story shows the transformational power of business aviation to improve connectivity and innovation across Africa. We believe that Africa's prosperity lies within and to connectivity within the continent.
“Two years ago, Falcon Aerospace Limited and its flagship brand Vivajets were on its mission to build Africa's best private aviation brand. Falcon AerospaceLimited is the brand owner of Aviation Services costumes, Vivajets, FlyPJX and Charterxe; Business Incubation fit, instrrenalina; and Tech Firm and Intig Labs.
“Initially, we had no fleets or air-control certificates, but we had a stubborn belief in our dreams. Today we have a fleet that is fully licensed by the NCAA and is expanding into a global route, forging international collaboration and pioneer innovations.
“We believe that Africa's prosperity lies within and within its continental connectivity. The combination of infrastructure shortcomings and geopolitical and language barriers makes it difficult to promote the mobility and regional integration needed to push the continent into a global competitiveness.
“Commercial aviation offers important mobility, but its efficiency is hampered by policy conflicts. For example, commercial aviation flights from Lagos to Luanda (around three hours) must be detoured in Europe.
In his remarks, Colonel Chris Najomo, director of the NCAA, praised Falcon's aerospace journey.
“Today, we celebrate history being made. Falconaero's journey is proof that success with resilience, vision and commitment is inevitable.
“From the NCAA side, we are proud to have supported them through this process. This AOC is just the beginning. We look forward to seeing something even bigger,” he said.
Tejumade Salami, the airline's chief operating officer, expressed his joy and honored the team's collective efforts, saying, “Tonight is to celebrate what is possible when passion achieves its purpose.
“Our journey is built on the shoulders of an extraordinary team, and as we look to the future, we are committed to expanding even higher heights, providing excellence, promoting innovation and shaping the future of civil aviation in Africa,” she said.
Salami added: “Finally, with the AOC awards and the publication of the magazine above, Falcon Aerospace continues to prove its position as a leading leader in the African civil aviation sector, bringing a new level of connectivity, innovation and cultural pride.”
