Does anyone have any info as to whether there are any commercial floatplane operations in our continent.
The only one that I do know about is the one from the Cape Town waterfront and I am not sure if that is still on the go.

I do know that a caravan that used to fly out of the waterfront ZSORR did some work in Mozambique on one of the islands, not sure if its still there or if it came back.

Pan African Aviation used to operate Cessna Turbo Caravans on floats for Chevron in Nigeria. With OLOG taking over the helicopter side of that contract now, I'm not sure if Pan African is still operating the Caravans or not. Willbros Engineering also have a turbo Beaver on floats based at Choba, just north of Port Harcourt in Nigeria.
