ExecuJet Africa launched charter helicopter service from its Cape Town FBO facility yesterday, using a newly acquired VIP-configured Bell 407. It will offer commercial helicopter charters for various scenic flights to surrounding vineyards and other tourist attractions.
While ExecuJet’s focus for helicopter charter will predominantly be on sightseeing flights, the Bell 407 will also be available to the company’s existing clients for business and leisure trips. It has a cabin configurable for an array of missions and payloads, ExecuJet said.
“There is always a great demand for helicopters in the Cape Town region during the high season, so we are really pleased to be able to offer this service to our customers,” said director of flight operations Gavin Kiggen. “ExecuJet is always looking for new opportunities to expand our charter offering in the region.”
