Our focus

Africa-focused.
Internationally connected.

Africa is at the heart of EXPAVIA’s work.

With a population projected to reach around 2.5 billion by 2050, a rapidly expanding working-age population, growing cities and increasingly connected regional markets, Africa presents a significant long-term opportunity for aviation, infrastructure, logistics, mobility and investment.

That growth is expected to increase demand for the systems that connect people, goods and economies — from airports, cargo and logistics to aircraft capacity, technical capability, aviation training and supporting commercial infrastructure.

But opportunity alone does not make a project investable.

EXPAVIA combines an understanding of African aviation markets and operating environments with international expertise, relationships and resources. We help identify credible opportunities, establish the evidence, structure the commercial proposition and connect projects with the operators, technology providers, investors and specialist partners capable of helping deliver them.

Our purpose

From opportunity
to a viable proposition.

EXPAVIA exists to help turn Africa’s aviation potential into commercially viable, investable and deliverable projects.

We identify and develop opportunities that can strengthen connectivity, logistics, technical capability, training, infrastructure and aviation-linked economic activity across the continent.

Through our six areas of expertise and international relationships, we connect strategic advice and business intelligence with project development, commercial structuring, partner engagement and practical implementation support.

We work with governments, public agencies, asset owners, investors and project sponsors to move promising ideas beyond ambition and into defined development programmes with clear commercial, operational and implementation pathways.

Our purpose is not simply to advise on aviation development, but to help create the projects, businesses and capabilities that support Africa’s long-term growth.

One appointment.
Or a connected team.

You do not need to engage the whole group to work with EXPAVIA. Each division can respond to a direct brief, with its own scope and responsibilities.

When a requirement crosses disciplines, we agree how the relevant divisions will work together. Ventures can originate and structure an opportunity; Consulting can assess a client’s project; Project Management can coordinate delivery; Procurement can source and evaluate suppliers; Leasing can source and coordinate aircraft or equipment lease options; Training can develop and coordinate specialist training and operational capability.

The starting point is always the work you need done.
