VIVAJETS

VivaJets (also written Viva Jets) is a business aviation company based in Lagos, Nigeria. It operates as a brand of Falcon Aerospace Limited and was set up around 2023, according to Nigerian travel trade press.

The company holds an Air Operator Certificate issued by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, reported by ch-aviation as secured in early 2025, which allows it to fly commercial charters on its own certificate rather than only arranging flights with other operators. Reported services include private jet charter, aircraft management, and aircraft sales and acquisition.

Its fleet has grown since certification. In July 2026, ch-aviation reported two Bombardier Challenger 604s, a Hawker 850XP, a Hawker 900XP and an Embraer E140 regional jet configured for up to 44 passengers, with the aircraft based at Lagos (LOS). The E140 marked a move from executive jets alone into corporate and group travel, with early flights including roundtrips to Warri.

Reported leadership includes Erika Achum as chief executive and Tejumade Salami as chief operating officer. Flyers can expect domestic Nigerian charter as well as regional flights, subject to the permissions held for each route.
