BUILDING THE FUTURE TOGETHER Boeing in Africa Boeing’s heritage in Africa dates back nearly 75 years. Since the introduction of the jet airplane, Boeing planes have formed the backbone of the continent’s commercial fleet. With more than 60 airline customers operating about 460 Boeing airplanes throughout Africa, Boeing represents nearly 70% of the airplane market currently in service across the continent. The company’s military aircraft legacy in Africa goes back to World War II, when Boeing heritage company Douglas Aircraft established a top-secret aircraft maintenance facility in Ethiopia, “Project 19,” to serve Allied air commands in North Africa. Currently, Boeing has offices in Johannesburg, South Africa, and Nairobi, Kenya, in addition to field service representatives with commercial customers across the continent.
