Kusheka Aerospace & Aviation is a specialist advisory firm supporting organisations with strategy, business development, market access, partnerships, and investment across global aerospace and aviation markets.
Africa’s aviation sector is in the middle of a structural transformation that most of the world has not yet priced in. African airlines grew passenger traffic by 7.8% in 2025, reaching a record load factor of 74.9%. By 2040, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) projects Africa to become the world’s third-fastest-growing aviation market, with passenger traffic expected to double by 2044. Africa’s aviation boom is already here, and Nigeria sits at the heart of that surge.
The numbers reveal Nigeria as Africa’s second-largest domestic aviation market, recording over 10.5 million domestic passengers in 2025, a 10% year-on-year increase. In the same year, Lagos Murtala Muhammed International Airport recorded an 11.8% rise in air traffic movements, making it the fastest traffic growth rate among Africa’s leading airports.
Investors are paying attention to these numbers, and so is the government. Over $12 billion has been committed to aviation infrastructure investments across Africa through 2030. In 2024, the Nigerian government earmarked $14.1 million in its budget for airport rehabilitation and modernisation across key airport hubs.
This is not a market on the horizon. It is a market in motion. The question is not whether to engage; it is whether you are positioned to engage intelligently. That is where Kusheka comes in.
We exist to help shape the systems behind Africa’s growing aviation industry, turning the current growth and opportunity into a more impactful structure.
