This groundbreaking book charts a bold new course for the nation's aviation sector , one where transformation is not just compliance, but culture. Rooted in over 30 years of industry insight and robust academic research, this book offers a practical, scalable, and visionary framework to make South Africa’s aviation sector inclusive, innovative, and sustainable.

From apartheid-era exclusions to post-democracy challenges, this book confronts the sector’s toughest barriers, and offers solutions that work. Drawing on global case studies, policy analysis, and deep systems thinking, Wesley Hermanus outlines a five-pillar Sustainable Transformation Framework (STF) built on equity, skills, enterprise development, sustainability, and governance.
