African Pilot Magazine

The Business of Aviation in Africa

African Pilot Magazine is centred around those who fly and those who make flight possible: connected, innovative, and influential.

Founded in the early 2000s and redefined under new ownership in December 2024, African Pilot Magazine has become Africa’s aviation bridge. We serve both business-to-business and business-to-consumer audiences, showcasing the continent’s opportunities to the global supply chain while bringing suppliers and solutions directly to Africa’s decision-makers.
