About Us
Founded in 2018 in Hong Kong by a group of freight entrepreneurs with deep expertise in global logistics and airfreight, Aero Africa has rapidly expanded its presence. In 2020, we established our South Africa office, and within just five years we have built a strong footprint across the continent, with operations in South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, and Egypt, as well as dedicated control tower offices in West Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
With Africa’s accelerated economic growth and the corresponding surge in logistics demand from direct trade with global markets, the need for tailor-made, simplified, and neutral logistics solutions has never been greater. Aero Africa addresses this by combining advanced services with a secure financial transacting platform, enabling seamless and reliable business with and within the African continent.
