Flying for hire in southern Africa

[Sam Rutherford]

We have been asked to provide our aeroplane and a pilot for a 6 week contract filming an expedition from Zanzibar to Namibia early next year. It's the first time we will operate our aircraft in this region, and I have no idea what sort of prices would normally be charged for this.

The aircraft will already be in South Africa at the beginning of the contract (having finished another task) so the Africa-Europe transfer cost is borne by us.

Thanks for any responses!

Sam.

Depends what AC it is......

If you need a driver

That's a fair question!!!

Maule MX7-180 - so a tailwheel bushplane, single engine, 4 seats...

We might need a standby pilot for some stages, but I'm not looking right now cos we'll be swamped by requests the moment I open that honey pot!
