South Africa’s National Airways Corp. (NAC), one of the largest general aviation companies in Africa, has established a new FBO to replace its former facility at Johannesburg Lanseria International Airport. One of four service providers at the airport, the new full-service location, attached to the company’s headquarters, can accommodate up to 100 people at a time.

It also includes a VIP passenger arrival and departure lounge; trip-planning workstations; snooze rooms; several large conference rooms; meet-and-greet assistance with customs, immigration and crew handling; aircraft ground handling; concierge; catering and fuel arrangements; ground transport; baggage handling; laundry and dishwashing service; and aircraft cleaning. The complex has four hangars, the largest of which can accommodate aircraft up to a Boeing 737-400.

In addition to its FBO at Lanseria, the company offers aircraft sales (new and pre-owned); maintenance; parts; aircraft management and charter; air ambulance services; aircraft leasing; and pilot, technical and ATC training. It has offices at Grand Central and Rand Airports in Johannesburg, Wonderboom Airport in Pretoria, the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, Virginia Airport in Durban and Port Alfred Airport on the Eastern Cape.
