Physical address: On Safari, c/o African Wealth Holdings & Investments, Guild Hall, 5

Couple of things don't make sense to me (apart from HDS!) is (a) why would they commence training before they even have their licencing hearing; (2) if they have two aircraft, that works out at three crews per ship - which is very low; and (3) a company that can afford to finance an airline to the tune of two B767s can't afford a dedicated fax line!

True, but 767 loads of people ... multiple times weekly? Somehow I don't think all the lodges in Kruger combined could cope with one a week!

This looks like another Lionair/Avia/African Star to me. Hope I'm wrong though, the more jobs the merrier!
