Africa is home to just over 400 business aircraft against a fast-growing base of US-dollar millionaires and acute scheduled-airline gaps across the region — yet the Middle East & Africa business-aviation market is set to grow at roughly 8.4% a year, with South Africa under-served by scaled, professional operators. Skyridge Aviation captures this from Lanseria with a five-stream model — charter, aircraft management, ownership programmes, brokerage and ancillary services — that operates 15 aircraft by Year 5 while financing only 7, materially reducing the capital intensity of growth. A USD 30-million raise (USD 18m equity + USD 12m senior debt) scales revenue from USD 6.5 million to USD 36.4 million and EBITDA to USD 12.8 million by Year 5 with conservative leverage (net debt/EBITDA peaking at 1.37×), delivering a 34.7% equity IRR and a 4.44× money multiple at a 7.0× EV/EBITDA exit.
