Nigerian business aviation company VivaJets has received its air operator certificate (AOC) from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority. This expands its commercial operating rights across 34 African nations that have ratified the Yamoussoukro Decision, a treaty framework intended to liberalize air transport services and promote competitive aviation markets across the continent. The Yamoussoukro Decision is a precursor to the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM), an African Union project launched in 2018 to implement the treaty framework.

Operating under parent company Falcon Aerospace, VivaJets has experienced substantial growth since its establishment two years ago. The Lagos-based operator provides aircraft charter, management, sales, and acquisition services across an expanding route network.
