Africa remains an important part of the business of Swiss charter broker Vertis Aviation, which saw its best-ever year in 2022, CEO Jeffrey Emmenis told AIN last week at EBACE.

Several factors drove the company's increased business, he said, including the number of customers traveling for leisure. “That was very big for us," Emmenis noted. "Customers on the business side, particularly in Africa, flying to more remote locations...We look after a number of heads of state and there was a lot of travel as governments started opening up and doing business. I see a little bit of softening in 2023, but it will still be quite impressive.”
