Fixed-wing and helicopter charter across Southern Africa: business travel, VIP transfers, fly-in safaris and cargo. Flown since 1989, with crews on standby around the clock.
Request a quoteA scheduled airline decides where it goes and when. Charter reverses that: you choose the destination, the departure time and who is on board, and the aircraft is arranged around it.
In practice that means three things, reaching places airlines do not serve, such as game-lodge airstrips and small regional fields; getting a full day back by flying direct instead of connecting; and keeping a meeting, a film crew or a family together on one aircraft.
Tell us the route, the dates and how many of you there are. We come back with the aircraft that fits, the flight time and a firm price.
CIVAIR has operated charter flights since 1989. We fly business travellers, families and film crews across Southern Africa on their own schedules, in fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters as the route demands.

ZS-KYD · 6 seats · retractable gear
A fast, comfortable single-engine charter for up to five passengers and a pilot: game-lodge fly-ins, business hops and scenic charter around the Cape and further afield.
Leather cabin, air conditioning and enough range to make most Southern African day trips a single flight.
Light jet charter · longer range, faster cruise
For longer legs or a tighter schedule than the Cessna suits: a light jet with faster cruise and greater range, on the same one-call charter service.

Direct to your hotel, lodge or event
For guests whose time matters more than anything else, we fly directly to where you are staying, whether hotel, lodge or private venue, anywhere in South Africa.
We match the aircraft to the mission, whether that is a short hop across the Cape or a cross-country transfer.
Fly-in safaris without the drive
A safari should not start with an eight-hour drive. Many of the country’s top lodges maintain landing strips built exactly for this: direct fly-in arrivals.
Our aircraft carry you to a wide selection of game lodges across the country. We handle the routing; the lodge handles the sundowners.
Time-critical freight across Africa
When freight cannot wait for the next scheduled service, we fly it. CIVAIR moves precious and time-critical cargo throughout Africa and the surrounding islands.
We plan every cargo flight the way we plan passenger work: carefully, and around your deadline.
Charter to destinations across the region
From the Cape to the Kruger Lowveld and beyond, CIVAIR manages charter flights throughout Southern Africa.
One operator, one point of contact, from the first quote to the return leg.
Route, dates, passenger numbers and any cargo, that’s all we need to come back with aircraft options and a firm price.
