Africa Union Holdings is a strong advocate of the Business Aviation industry, as the value and efficacy of private air travel in “getting business done” is well understood. Thus the entrance of Africa Union Holdings into the Aviation Industry was simply a natural progression. The opportunity became urgently apparent when the COVID-19 global pandemic forced commercial air travel to come to a virtual standstill in 2020.

 

The visionary Chairman of Africa Union Holdings Mr. James Ndambo, understood that organisations that are nimble enough to seize opportunities and forge their own path will flourish and prosper, while others that are unable to change tack and adapt will struggle when the world is faced with the difficulties it endured in the year 2020. This was the opportunity the chaos of COVID-19 presented to Africa Union Holdings.

 

Africa Union Aviation was born out of this vision. The Aviation Industry is generally a “all or nothing” industry, there is hardly ever a middle ground to it and this meant that establishing an Aviation Company would require Africa Union Holdings’ proven tenacity in establishing innovative businesses in traditional industries.
