AVIC-KDN will participate as a major sponsor and exhibitor at the Nigeria Air Show from December 2–4, demonstrating how its integrated airport and aviation solutions—developed together with its global partners—can support Nigeria’s ambitions for a stronger, safer, and more efficient aviation sector.

Drawing on its experience delivering major airport projects across Africa, including Liberia’s Roberts International Airport and Angola’s Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport, AVIC-KDN sees Nigeria as a strategic market with significant growth potential.

Nigeria’s aviation industry supports hundreds of thousands of jobs and contributes substantially to GDP. However, infrastructure needs, operational costs, regulatory hurdles, maintenance gaps, and safety concerns continue to constrain growth.

AVIC-KDN aims to help address these challenges through modernisation, efficiency improvement, and long-term operational support.

“This is why we opened our Abuja office in 2024,” said Tim Chen, VP, AVIC-KDN. “Being in Nigeria allows us to collaborate earlier and more effectively with airport authorities on compliance, operational efficiency, and new service opportunities.”

AVIC-KDN believes Nigeria has the resources and momentum to emerge as a regional aviation hub.

With modernised airports, enhanced operational standards, and strengthened airline development, the aviation sector can significantly expand its economic impact and regional connectivity.

Together with its partners, AVIC-KDN is committed to supporting Nigeria’s aviation strategy by delivering safe, modern, efficient, and profitable airport and airline solutions across the country.
