The Aim of the Project, How the Five-Hub Network Fits Together, How We Set Every Fare, and How MojaAir Will Impact Intra-African Trade.
What MojaAir is, why it exists and who is behind it.
MojaAir is a pan-African airline being developed to connect African cities through five regional hubs at Entebbe, Lagos, Cairo, Kinshasa and Gaborone. Fares start from $25 and are priced by the distance flown, with no fare classes or hidden surcharges.
Flying between two African cities is often harder than leaving the continent. Only 19% of African city pairs have a direct flight, and intra-African fares have typically run US$320 to US$550 a sector against US$40 to US$80 in Europe for comparable distances.
MojaAir is a proposed pan-African airline project sponsored and promoted by Briteque Ltd. The commercial model is set out in the MojaAir Business Case v2026-06, referred to as V4, which defines the route network, the banded fare architecture and the operating rules.
No launch date has been announced. MojaAir is at the project stage: the Phase 1 network is mapped, the V4 fare model is set and the operating team is being assembled. This website is a demonstration and takes no bookings.
How the five-hub model works and why it was chosen.
Africa is too large for a single centre. MojaAir operates five regional hubs of equal standing at Entebbe, Lagos, Cairo, Kinshasa and Gaborone. Journeys connect through whichever hub is fastest for that route, rather than being funnelled through one privileged airport.
One at most. The V4 operating rules cap every itinerary at a single connection, with a 90-minute transit and baggage checked through to the destination. Direct service is offered wherever the route is scheduled or the flight time is under four hours.
MojaAir addresses the gap in intra-African air links, where only about 19% of city pairs have a direct flight and many journeys reroute through Europe or the Gulf. Its five-hub network is designed to keep African journeys inside Africa, shortening travel times.
How Business Case V4 sets the price of a seat.
Fares follow the banded architecture in Business Case V4. Price is set by the distance of the whole journey, not by fare class or the number of segments flown. Documented Phase 1 routes from the Entebbe hub carry their exact published V4 fare.
The fare covers the full origin-to-destination journey and 7kg of hand luggage. Checked bags are priced separately at US$22 per bag per leg, up to two bags of 23kg each. There are no fuel surcharges, booking fees or fare classes.
V4 sets a flat US$100 surcharge on bookings made within 72 hours of departure, added to the distance fare and labelled plainly at checkout. It replaces the opaque dynamic pricing most airlines apply, so the cost of booking late is knowable in advance.
MojaAir offers distance-based fares from $25, direct flights wherever possible, and a maximum of one connection on any journey. Booking is digital-first, and the payment model is built around African methods including mobile money and card, alongside PAPSS settlement for cross-border payments.
The payment model is built around how Africans already pay. The intention is to accept mobile money platforms including M-Pesa, MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money and Orange Money, alongside card, with PAPSS handling cross-border settlement so passengers can pay in local currency.
Why intra-African connectivity matters commercially.
Intra-African air travel underpins trade, tourism, family connection and business mobility. Analysis linked to the Single African Air Transport Market projects that a fully open African air market could raise passenger traffic by 51% and reduce fares by 26%, unlocking millions of additional trips.
Affordable air links let traders and small businesses reach cross-border customers in hours rather than days. Intra-African trade reached US$220.3 billion in 2024, up 12.4%, yet still only 14.4% of the continent's total trade, which is the gap better connectivity is meant to close.
Business travellers moving between African commercial centres, cross-border traders and small businesses, families and diaspora travellers visiting relatives, and tourists exploring the continent. Cross-border traders, the majority of them women, are among the most important customer segments on the Phase 1 network.
What the project commits to, stated plainly.
Five commitments shape the project: African identity, radical transparency in pricing, safety as the first design constraint, digital-first innovation, and community investment. The airline intends to publish its on-time and environmental performance rather than simply describe it, so that claims can be measured against evidence.
Sustainability is part of MojaAir's stated vision rather than a completed programme. The airline aims to operate fuel-efficient aircraft, run punctual operations that reduce wasted fuel, and report its environmental performance openly. No emissions reductions or fuel partnerships are being claimed at this stage.
