CFS Aero Moves to Fireblade Aviation FBO at OR Tambo

CFS Aero, a charter/management provider with an FBO at South Africa’s Lanseria International Airport (FALA), is relocating its primary base of operations to the Fireblade Aviation facility at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport. Both the corporate offices and managed aircraft fleet are moving to OR Tambo (FAOR).

CFS Aero operates a fleet that includes four Bombardier Learjets; a Pilatus PC-24 and six PC-12s; a Nextant 400XT; a Cessna Citation M2; and two Beechcraft King Airs. In addition to providing aircraft charter management services, it also offers maintenance support and aircraft sales and acquisitions.

“The establishment of OR Tambo International Airport as our primary base of operation represents an important milestone in the evolution of CFS Aero,” said managing director Kerry Searle. “The move provides access to world-class aviation infrastructure and the premium facilities of Fireblade Aviation, including onsite customs and immigration services, private passenger lounges, executive meeting rooms, and extensive hangar capacity that will support the continued growth of our managed aircraft fleet.”

He added, “These enhanced capabilities allow us to deliver an even more seamless and integrated experience for both our clients and flight operations. Importantly, this is not a departure from Lanseria. We will continue to operate from Lanseria International Airport, giving our clients the flexibility of accessing our services from both airports while benefiting from the enhanced capabilities that OR Tambo offers.”
