Sponsorship That Soars

Sponsoring puts you front-and-centre as Africa’s air traffic and passenger demand expand rapidly: IATA projects African air passenger traffic to more than double over the coming decades (hundreds of millions by the 2030s). That growth creates demand for fleets, infrastructure, technology, and financing, and early visibility yields first-mover advantage.

Regional infrastructure and fleet modernization require substantial capital investments, ranging from airport projects to airline leasing. Sponsors meet financiers, multilateral banks, and deal-makers (e.g., AfDB partnerships and mega-airport projects), enabling direct pipeline introductions and partnership conversations.

From avionics and ground systems to digital ops and cargo tech, sponsors gain exhibition and demo space to present live use cases, flight trials, or PoCs directly to operators and procurement teams, accelerating pilot programs and procurement decisions.

AeroWest is a concentrated gathering of CEOs, purchasing heads, route planners and government procurement officers — sponsors get high-quality meetings, pipelines of RFPs, and direct buyer engagement that conventional marketing cannot match.

As green aviation (SAF, green airports, ESG financing) climbs the agenda, sponsors can position their brand as the partner of choice for sustainable aviation solutions — appealing to institutional investors and development partners increasingly focused on ESG.

Sponsorship delivers immediate visibility, networking, and deal-making while also creating a long-term legacy (policy influence, partnerships, contracts, and human-capital programs) - enabling sponsors to show both short-term KPIs (leads, press impressions, signed MOUs) and long-term impact (market share, projects delivered).
