My info from aviation folk in the Lowveld is that owner wishes to just withdraw his aircraft from game lodge flights due to heavy wear and tear on u/c etc. This is just hearsay.

DudleyDick, this is also what I heard (from my birdi ). Also heard that the "flight dispatcher" is moving back to Jozi?
Saw their Let410 the other day, anybody knows whether they still fly in Vilank, Moz?

Nel Air in Provisional Liquidation.

It has been confirmed to me from a very senior staff member that NEL AIR TOURS AND CHARTER have been placed in provisional liquidation.There have been cash flow issues in the past few months.

Calculator, Nelair is obviously in the POOOO. It's realy a pity.
But how do you employ new pilots if this is happening?

What do you think will happen to their DC3? Lovely machine with awesome history
