ARLink28 is being structured to deliver direct, efficient routes between key African cities, addressing one of the continent's most persistent challenges in air travel.
The foundation is built on a strategic decision to establish our operational base in Ethiopia — at the crossroads of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. This is not simply a location, but a deliberate investment into stability, efficiency, and long-term relevance.
ARLink28 is also being developed with a clear commitment to sustainable aviation — aligning with global Net Zero ambitions through fuel-efficient aircraft, sustainable aviation fuels, and operational strategies that reduce environmental impact over time.
ARLink28 was founded by Ajay E. Salako, driven by a long-standing vision shaped from an early and deeply personal connection to aviation. From childhood, she had a natural curiosity and fascination with aircraft and flight — long before experiencing an airport firsthand.
Growing up in Nigeria, this early interest developed independently. The first real encounter with air travel — travelling from Lagos to the United Kingdom — transformed what had once been imagined into a lived experience, reinforcing a deeper awareness of aviation's role in connecting people, economies, and opportunities.
Over time, this evolved into a clear recognition of the structural gaps within African air connectivity. ARLink28 is the result of that progression — built with clarity, patience, and long-term execution in mind.
