Vertis continues to expand its African presence and the continent is a prime focus for the business.
As business aviation takes on a new perception across the continent, the sector continues to grow.
A reduced commercial fleet means there are transport gaps that business aviation is filling. This has been a factor in driving our charter business in Africa and we are supporting more business and government flights than leisure flights in this part of the world.
As economies grow and more wealth is generated, Vertis has welcomed an increasing number of new clients in Africa during the past 12 months.
The pandemic spurred some countries to speed permit processing, which has helped enable more flights. It still has a long way to go, but this is a good change for all.
A reduction in commercial routes, the general difficulty in traveling within Africa, and the burgeoning economies and opportunities in different regions of the continent are all contributing to the optimism.
Business aviation is the only convenient way to reduce travel times from days to hours, often more efficiently and certainly with more security and discretion.
