Hi All

Could someone please tell me who is the best to use for the import of an aircraft from the States to SA?

Thanks

Go to www.avcom.co.za

There are quite a few guys there who have imported aeries to SA (both by themselves and using agents). :ok:

Hi putco

I think a tenny bit more would be useful.

The import / export of a plane has many aspects – are you looking for someone to do the customs bit ?, someone to ferry / ship it?, someone to liaise with SACAA for re-registration, are you going to put it on the SA reg or keep it on the N plate?, someone to inspect the plane and it’s records prior to acceptance? (or even purchase), is it a type certified plane (as per SACAA) or not?

If you were looking for someone to handle the “technical aspects” or do “project overview” I’d say me :} (blatant plug), although I’d also admit that I normally “take them out” rather than “bring them in”, places like NAC and Comair (Cessna dealers) should have experience in bring them in – other people I’m sure can suggest Ferry pilots / shipping companies but the former will need to know on which register you intend to do the ferry.
