IDA is the intelligence platform connecting aviation professionals with the companies, tools and insight they need to navigate one of the world’s most complex industries.
Africa’s aviation sector is one of the most dynamic, and fragmented, on earth. Flight schools, MRO providers, charter operators, aviation technology companies and consulting firms are spread across 54 countries, speaking different languages, operating under different regulators, and largely invisible to one another.
IDA was built to change that. We created a single, trusted platform where aviation professionals can discover verified companies, access original analysis from Dr Guy Leitch, and connect with the right people across the continent.

Dr Guy Leitch, Co-Founder
Six principles that shape every decision we make at IDA.
Every company listing is manually reviewed before it goes live. Accuracy over volume, always.
Built for the African aviation ecosystem, though our reach extends globally. The continent’s aviation story deserves its own platform.
Dr Guy Leitch’s commentary is IDA’s editorial spine. Independent, informed and unflinching, not sponsored, not filtered.
IDA is shaped by feedback from pilots, engineers, operators and enthusiasts. The Suggestion Box isn’t a token gesture, we act on it.
Listings, news and data are maintained continuously. When something changes in the industry, IDA reflects it.
We never share user data, never sell access to rankings, and never take payment to influence editorial.
Whether you’re a company looking to list your services, a media partner, or an aviation professional with a story to share, we’d love to hear from you.
