ExecuJet Africa, which is exhibiting at Mining Indaba 2014 from February 3-6 in Cape Town, South Africa, is expanding its charter fleet with the addition of an Embraer Phenom 300 business jet.

The aircraft is one of only 2 Phenom 300s available on demand for charter in sub-Saharan Africa and brings ExecuJet Africa’s total number of charter aircraft to 42.

The Phenom 300 will be based at Johannesburg’s Lanseria International Airport and has a range of 13,600 km enabling nonstop flights between Johannesburg and key growth areas including Angola, DRC and Tanzania.

Mike Clark, Director of Flight Operations, ExecuJet Africa, says: “We are delighted to be exhibiting at Mining Indaba once again and look forward to showcasing our full suite of business aviation services, from aircraft management to chartering helicopters and aircraft such as the Bombardier Dash-8 Q400 and our new Phenom 300. Private aviation has become a necessity for mining companies, due to the need to reach remote locations and the poor rail and road infrastructure within Africa.”

ExecuJet Africa operates a number of aircraft, including helicopters, to transport mining personnel between sites with basic or non-existent landing strips. ExecuJet also offers aviation services such as transporting cargo and equipment to mining and exploration areas.  Rotary wing support services include seismic survey operations, VIP aviation support, oil pipeline inspections and security surveillance support.

ExecuJet Africa will be at stand 3606 at Mining Indaba 2014 highlighting its aircraft and helicopter management and charter services, as well as the company’s specialised support to the mining and resource exploration sector.
