Local companies' fleets include the De Havilland DHC-6-400, De Havilland DHC-8-100, and Israeli Aircraft 1124A Westwind II. We select the specific 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.
