What types of aircraft do operators have in Botswana?
Local companies' fleets include the ATR 42/72, Embraer ERJ-170, Beechcraft 200T, Bell 206B-3, Bell 206L-3, and Bell 206LT. We select the appropriate aircraft for the task from this fleet and from aircraft in neighboring countries.
Why look at the operator's AOC?
An air operator certificate (AOC) is issued by the aviation authorities of the country of registration and defines flight regulations, crew requirements, and dispute resolution procedures. Flights are always operated by the operator, not the broker, so their approvals are verified before a booking is confirmed.
