Vivajets has canvassed business aviation as an innovative solution to stimulate Africa’s development as well as increase connectivity across the continent.
The aviation company said as Africa evolves through an increase in population, innovation and enterprise, the need for business aviation has become crucial in enhancing efficiency.
Addressing a press conference to unveil Vivajets as its charter flight brand, focusing on business aviation as an enabler of economic development in Africa, its Chief Executive Officer, Chukwuerika Achum, expressed optimism that the business strategy and culture would help facilitate and accelerate Africa’s integration.
He said that the firm was borne out of the need to bring Africans together, facilitate regional connectivity and empower Africa’s growth and renaissance.
Achum, who rolled out the firm’s innovative product offerings, also released a guide on fractional aircraft ownership, a specialised service that enables customers to become part owners of an aircraft.
According to him, Vivajets has positioned itself to meet the rising demand on the continent with a full range of services including aircraft management services, fractional ownership opportunities, aircraft sales and acquisition.
“Vivajets is one of the brands under Falcon Aerospace Group, alongside digital platforms, CharterXE and FlyPJX. Vivajets is beyond a business aviation company. Vivajets currently operates several international routes on chartered flights from its current base in Lagos with a range of operational strategies designed to improve travel efficiency, reduce travel time, maximise aircraft and make business aviation more accessible and affordable,” he said.
The Head of Business Excellence, Tejumade Salami, said: “We have created a space for people who are mindful of safety. In our operations, we drive the ideology of safety. We are also a customer and innovation-oriented organisation. We are constantly researching new ways to solve our customers’ needs and improve operational efficiency.”
Vivajets’ Head of Products and Innovation, Basil Bessong, said that through technology, the firm was able to maintain a lean team and work collaboratively, adding that it has developed its digital platforms to improve customers’ access to its services.
