Our services
Charter Flights For Every Journey
Every journey is different, so every charter is planned differently, around your schedule, your destination and the practical realities of flying across Africa.
Some require fast access between major economic hubs. Others involve remote airstrips, multiple destinations, specialised luggage, cross-border permits or moving an entire group together. Those are the journeys African Air is built to manage.

Experience in action
When plans are last-minute
When two national rugby players received a last-minute invitation to support a fundraising event at a faraway school, time was critical. By road they would have missed it.
Wiehahn took the call. His response was simple: “Meet me at the airstrip in an hour.”
They arrived in time. What would have been an impossible journey became a simple one — and the community got its unforgettable evening.

Where we fly
Deepest in Southern and East Africa. Available continent-wide.
We fly private charters across Africa. Our strongest coverage is Southern and East Africa, however, we fly further across the continent on request.
What decides where you can land is rarely the distance. It is the runway. Africa's airstrips run from full international runways to short strips cut into the bush, and the surface matters as much as the length. It could be asphalt, gravel, compacted sand, or just plain grass, and an aircraft that is right for one is unsuitable for the next.
So we plan backwards from the destination. Your passenger numbers, your luggage and the runway at the other end determine the aircraft, rather than the other way round. You never need to know which aircraft you need. That is settled before your proposal reaches you.
Four runways we fly into, and what each one asks of an aircraft.

Why African Air
A simpler way to move across Africa.
Africa is vast, dynamic and rewarding. Moving across it efficiently is another matter. Airline schedules rarely match business commitments, remote destinations add long transfers, and specialist journeys bring luggage, permits and aircraft selection into the equation.
African Air exists to remove that complexity — and to own it when it changes.
