Helicopter Operator Recommendation Needed - South Sudan

Hi Guys

I have a client about to start working in South Sudan, they have asked me to identify a Helicopter Operator to ferry them about while in country.

Any Recommendations? or is it better to get someone to fly in from say Nairobi?

Any advice greatly accepted

As already mentioned, try Simon Everett, of Everett Aviation.
His fleet of helicopters are all Eurocopter/Airbus twins, they operated for the UN in Somalia and presently also fly for the British Army Training Unit Kenya. He also has a fixed wing. Most of his pilots are ex-military and his company has a very good reputation in East Africa
