Launch Strategy

A disciplined path from platform to full-scale airline

MIG Airlines is being built in four deliberate phases — generating revenue and institutional credibility before a single aircraft enters service. Every phase is designed to de-risk the next.

Roadmap

The four phases

Sequenced execution — each phase funds, validates or enables the next.

Phase 01 · Live — Pre-Aircraft Revenue

Build the Business

Launch the digital platform (website, investor portal, CRM) and begin generating revenue through advisory and brokerage lines while regulatory groundwork advances.

  • Website, investor portal, CRM & sales pipeline
  • Charter flight brokerage (via licensed third-party operators)
  • Air cargo & freight forwarding
  • Corporate travel management
  • Aviation consulting & aircraft sourcing advisory
  • Recruitment, training & talent network
  • Strategic partnerships & sponsorship
Phase 02 · Target: up to USD $300M

Capital Raise

Structured raise blending equity, strategic investors, aircraft finance, leasing and institutional capital, supported by a secure data room and investor relations program.

  • Investment thesis & use of proceeds
  • Investor categories: strategic, institutional, DFI, family office, HNWI
  • Secure data room & due diligence workflow
  • Governance, board formation & advisory council
  • Milestone-based capital deployment schedule
Phase 03 · Certification & Set-up

Operational Readiness

Regulatory certification, fleet sourcing, safety systems and airport agreements — the foundations required before a single commercial ticket is sold.

  • AOC certification & regulatory compliance (AAC/RDC, ICAO alignment)
  • Aircraft leasing / acquisition & maintenance program
  • Recruitment of pilots, cabin crew, engineers & operations staff
  • SMS safety management, insurance & operations manuals
  • Airport, ground handling, fuel & MRO agreements
  • Technology stack: PSS, DCS, revenue management, cargo systems
Phase 04 · Phased Rollout — Subject to Approvals

Commercial Launch

A disciplined market entry — domestic DRC first, then regional Africa, then selected international long-haul, calibrated to fleet, demand and readiness.

  • Phase A — Domestic DRC hubs (Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Goma, Kisangani…)
  • Phase B — Regional Africa (Johannesburg, Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Lagos…)
  • Phase C — International (Dubai, Brussels, Paris, London, North America)
  • Cargo, charter & VIP services scaling in parallel
  • Loyalty, distribution & interline / codeshare partnerships
