Stronger National Carriers. Stronger Africa.
PAAG will work with interested African governments and qualified partners to develop, restructure or strengthen commercially sustainable national carriers and aviation infrastructure where there is demonstrated market need and a viable business case.
Not an airline in every country — the right solution for each market.
In some markets, a new national carrier may be justified. In others, the stronger solution may be restructuring an existing airline, partnering with a regional carrier, developing a cargo or airport platform, improving routes and connectivity, strengthening MRO and skills, or connecting the market through PAAG Connect and partner networks.
- New national-carrier development and existing-carrier restructuring.
- Airport modernization, regional airports and hub strategy.
- Cargo airports, logistics hubs, cold chain and trade corridors.
- MRO facilities, ground services and technical infrastructure.
- Aviation academies, workforce development and leadership capacity.
- Fleet planning, leasing, OEM/ECA/lessor structures and FleetCo solutions.
- Distribution, payments, data, loyalty and aviation digital infrastructure.
A structured process from dialogue to integration.
Confidential discussion of aviation priorities and strategic context.
Independent assessment of market, carrier, infrastructure and regulatory landscape.
Evidence-based analysis of viable aviation solutions for the market.
Identification of the most commercially sustainable path forward.
Design of appropriate ownership, governance and regulatory frameworks.
Structuring of bankable projects with appropriate capital and partners.
Mobilization of DFI, private and strategic capital aligned with project risk.
Engagement of qualified airlines, OEMs, MRO providers and service partners.
Phased execution with performance milestones and governance oversight.
Connection to shared services, fleet, cargo, training and digital platforms.
PAAG's discipline applies equally to government projects.
Every project remains subject to independent analysis. PAAG should be prepared to recommend against a proposed airline, airport or infrastructure investment if the evidence does not support commercial sustainability, safety, regulatory feasibility or bankability.
