Nigeria-based VivaJets rolled out a set of innovative product offerings at a recent conference held by the company in Lagos. The organisation also released a guide on fractional aircraft ownership.

As Africa evolves through an increase in population, innovation and enterprise, new business leaders have emerged and business aviation has become crucial in enhancing their efficiency. Business aviation has the potential to stimulate African economic development alongside increased connectivity across the continent. VivaJets is positioning itself to meet this rising demand on the continent with a full range of services including aircraft management, fractional ownership opportunities, and aircraft sales and acquisition. It is one of the brands operating under Falcon Aerospace Group, alongside digital platforms CharterXE and FlyPJX.

VivaJets is beyond a company. We are a young and dynamic organisation, born out of the need to bring Africans together, facilitate regional connectivity and empower African growth and renaissance,” says CEO Chukwuerika Achum. “We want to be part of the new African story. We want to support the next set of people who will retell the continent’s story. We believe that our business strategy and culture will help facilitate and accelerate Africa’s integration.”

Achum explains that VivaJets currently operates a number of international routes on chartered flights from its current base in Lagos. Destinations include London, Accra and Abidjan, with a range of operational strategies designed to improve travel efficiency, reduce travel time, maximise aircraft and make business aviation more accessible and affordable.

Head of business excellence Tejumade Salami describes the corporate culture at VivaJets as dynamic, innovative and friendly. She says: “Building an excellent corporate culture starts with recruitment. At VivaJets we try to ensure that we recruit a set of people who have mindsets related to our work culture. In our operations, we drive the ideology of safety. We have created a space for people who are mindful of the safety of our passengers, crew and aircraft. We are also a customer and innovation-oriented organisation.”
