PRE-OPERATIONAL — AOC APPLICATION IN PROGRESS

Connecting Africa to Global Trade

A new air cargo venture built to link West Africa with the world's key trading markets — scheduled freighter capacity, charter solutions and ground logistics from Lagos, Nigeria.

01 / VISION

Africa moves less than 2% of global air freight. We intend to change that.

West Africa's exporters — from perishables and pharmaceuticals to manufactured goods — depend on foreign carriers routing capacity through distant hubs. Capeline is being built as a dedicated cargo airline headquartered in Lagos, designed around the region's trade flows rather than as an afterthought to them.

Our aim is reliable, scheduled main-deck capacity between West Africa and the trading centres of Europe, the Middle East and Asia — with the ground infrastructure to match.

What we are building

01 — SCHEDULED

Air Cargo

Scheduled main-deck freighter capacity on core trade lanes out of Lagos — general cargo, perishables and pharmaceuticals, with predictable weekly rotations forwarders can plan around.

02 — ON DEMAND

Charter Solutions

Full and part charters for project cargo, energy-sector equipment, humanitarian lift and urgent consignments — anywhere our traffic rights and partners can reach.

03 — ON THE GROUND

Logistics

Cargo handling, cold chain and road feeder services around our Lagos hub, so shipments move as reliably on the ground as they do in the air.

Building the network takes partners

We are in conversation with freight forwarders, shippers, airports and investors across our planned corridors. If Capeline's network would matter to your business, we would like to hear from you.
