Feasibility Study for Establishing FBO Services for Non-Scheduled Flights in East Africa

Client Background 

A major aviation support services provider based in the Middle East sought to evaluate the feasibility of launching Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services for non-scheduled flights in an East African country. The client operates across multiple regions, offering end-to-end aviation support to private, charter, and government aircraft. As part of its strategic growth plan, the company aimed to enter a new geography and required a comprehensive feasibility study, including a financial model, business plan, and regulatory roadmap to secure approval from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). 

Client’s Challenge 

The client wanted to expand operations into a developing aviation market that showed increasing activity in private and chartered air travel. However, they faced multiple challenges in determining the commercial and operational viability of the venture. Understanding local demand patterns and the broader aviation ecosystem was a key priority, alongside navigating complex regulatory frameworks and approval processes governed by the national CAA.  

The client also needed to assess infrastructure gaps, potential risks, and competitive pressures that could affect profitability. In addition, a detailed financial feasibility analysis, covering capital investment, operational costs, and revenue projections, was essential to build a credible case for stakeholder approval.
