Hi Kitkat

The company is owned by Richard Jeffries, he is an overall gentleman and pilot himself, aircraft are very well maintained too.

Last time I checked he had a 401, 402 & 421 was on order.....mind you, that was a year ago...

PM me if you need any other info about flying in Zambia and the local operators.

Regards

Certainly the most respectable operator in Zambia with good maintenance and while I was there they would not take chances when it came to flying into crappy airfields..
