Civil aviation is no longer an exclusive reserve of ultra-rich individuals and corporate elites. It has evolved into an infrastructure that is important for emerging markets. Civil aircraft, part of Africa, the Middle East and Asia, are increasingly relying on bridging infrastructure gaps, enabling rapid business mobility and supporting sovereign operations. From resource-rich regions with limited commercial routes to fast-growing economies seeking agile executive travel, there is an increasing demand for customized point-to-point aviation solutions. With increasing geopolitical complexity and contradicting traditional air travel in many regions, civil aviation is becoming a strategic need, not just convenience.
Maj Aviation is pleased to announce Habila Malgwi's appointment to the board of directors, in the backdrop of growing demand and regional transformation. This strategic move reflects our strengthened commitment to global expansion, innovation and leadership in aircraft acquisitions and aviation investment advisory.
Malgwi is a highly respected African investor, with over 20 years of experience and advises extremely high-level online individuals, sovereign clients and global institutions. He raises more than $2 billion for infrastructure and strategic development projects across the African continent, and places him as a bridge between capital and transformation in emerging markets. His expertise in financial structure, transaction flow optimization, and relationship management will help promote Maj Aviation's mission.
Headquartered in Luxembourg, Maj Aviation is a global leader in the acquisition, sales and management of civil aircraft. The company serves individuals, businesses and governments in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia, providing full services including technical due diligence, global sourcing, regulatory navigation, and long-term asset management.
Statement from Habila Margwy:
“I am honored to be on the MAJ Aviation board at such a dynamic time for the global aviation industry. MAJ has built a reputation for accuracy, trust, client excellence, and the values I deeply share.
Malgwi's appointment marks a new stage of growth for Maj Aviation. It strengthens the company's position as aviation partner prioritized over clients navigating the complexities of private jet ownership, cross-border transactions and long-term aviation asset strategies.
With growth in its customer base, including major African families, multinational corporations and sovereign entities in the Gulf region, Maj Aviation is poised to redefine how aviation assets are acquired, funded and optimized in the frontier market. The company is expanding its offering structured funding, jet procurement and long-range mission planning, supported by a leadership team that understands the intersection of wealth mobility, geopolitical insights and technical accuracy.
Malgwi's board membership is expected to accelerate strategic partnerships between Africa and the Middle East, strengthen investor trust, and unlock new pathways for facility-grade aviation solutions.
Maj Aviation's vision is clear. It is to provide strategic advantages not only in aircraft but also in the sky.
