The numbers of each type of aircraft are constantly changing, but as a rough guideline of who operates what types:
(And someone can correct me if I'm wrong here...)
Air Shakawe: C206, C207, C210
Delta Air: C206, C210, GA8
Kavango Air: C172, C206, GA8
Mack Air: C206, GA8, C208, Kodiak
Major Blue Air: C172, GA8, C208, BE58, B200, Hawker 800
Moremi Air: GA8
Safari Air: GA8, C208, Kodiak
Wilderness Air: C206, GA8, C208
Sadly, Fridge Air closed its doors in Maun last year... but I am enjoying the kitchen/ hospitality supply shop that took over their office space. You win some, you lose some.
Last I saw our company 'Fridge Air', sold airconditioners and fridges etc,however it was a great prank the pilots played on those who they didnt want to hire by sending them to us to drop off their C.Vs!!! We were located next to Hillarys. The new complex across the road from Kwando office only opened 2 years ago, where Wax Apple and now Kavango Air are located...
