Helicopter Operator Recommendation Needed - South Sudan

[Ex RN ATC]

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

Try Simon Everitt at www.everittaviation.com great operator for Eastern Africa based in Dar.

I can also recommend Tropic Air Kenya | Air Charter Africa (http://www.tropicairkenya.com/) they are based in Kenya, not far from Sudan border and have extensive experience operating in and around that part of the world - try to get hold of Ben

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

Another recommendation for Everett Aviation. Really well run, hard-working company.
