Who we are

Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of Nigeria

AOPA Nigeria is the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of Nigeria. Nigeria is Africa's most populous country and one of its largest economies, and its general aviation needs a strong, informed voice. That is what we are.

We represent pilots, aircraft owners, student pilots, instructors, engineers, flying clubs and flight training businesses. We work with the national authorities for sensible regulation, and for the airports, airspace, weather and fuel that general aviation needs.

We are a community for anyone in general aviation:

  • Private and commercial pilots
  • Flight instructors
  • Student pilots
  • Aircraft owners (any manned aircraft, balloon to jet)
  • Airfield operators
  • Flight training businesses
  • Flying clubs
  • Aircraft maintainers and engineers

The next generation

Young Aviators

Every pilot remembers the first time they sat in a cockpit. We open our hangars and our aircraft to young Nigerians so the next generation of pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers and aviation leaders can see, touch and feel where aviation can take them.

Through school visits, fly-ins and careers days, our members share what they do and help young people find the path from the classroom to the flight deck.

Events & fly-ins

Coming up

Our next fly-ins, safety seminars and meetings will be listed here.
