748 Services

Could anyone shed any light on this company based in Loki, Kenya? What exactly do they operate and has anybody worked for them or know of anyone who has? Thank you in advance.

That is the name of a company around there. They were flying at least 1 HS 748 as well as a couple Andovers. I hear that they may only have 1 Andover left, but I'm not sure. I have a 748 endorsement and am looking for any possible job opportunities. I don't know much else about them. Is there any other companies in Loki that operate 748's or Andovers?

Thanks

See my reply to Dash 8 for Kenya.

748 services is based in Loki, but operates outside OLS(Operation Lifeline Sudan)the UN umbrella of Ngo's operating into Southern sudan.

They operate, or did as of last December, two Andovers ex Nzaf.
They have their own camp in Loki, very nice quarters with a good bar.

The contacts are Kevin Ashley and Jeff Bartel, both ex UNWFP staff.

If you want to work for these people make sure you pack afew
vials of adrenalin.
What they do and how they do it will give your ringpiece an
intense but perhaps rewarding workout.
