Financing Africa's Aviation Future III

Africa needs more aviation connectivity, but is access to capital really the biggest constraint? With airlines earning much of their revenue in local currencies while paying for aircraft, fuel, maintenance, and other costs in dollars or euros, how should financing structures respond to that currency mismatch? What role should African banks, pension funds, and development finance institutions play in financing aviation without simply providing rescue capital? There is also a regulatory question: can stronger implementation of the Cape Town Convention and IDERA give financiers greater confidence to invest? Now, we ask what needs to change to make African aviation investable.

Financing Africa's Aviation Future II

National airlines are often expected to do more than make money from supporting tourism and trade to maintaining strategically important routes. But who pays when those routes are not commercially viable? Should governments formally separate commercial routes from public-service obligations, rather than allowing national mandates to weaken an airline’s balance sheet and creditworthiness?

Financing Africa's Aviation Future

Africa’s aviation sector is often framed as a financing problem. But is the bigger issue actually whether airlines are ready for the capital they are seeking? What are financiers looking for beyond the need for more aircraft and how do governance, credible financial reporting, foreign exchange risk and regulatory certainty affect the cost of capital? In the first part of this financing series, Derek Nseko, Airspace Africa, lays the groundwork as he asks the hard questions.
