Charter Flights For Cargo & Passengers In Eastern & Central Africa
Eastern & Central Africa countries have had political conflicts especially South Sudan,Somalia,Central Africa Republic,Democratic Republic of Congo,Rwanda,Burundi for many years.Thanks to Non-Governmental Organizations,European Commission.African Union and United States of American who have provided humanitarian assistance in terms of education,medical assitsance,food,clothing and trying to bring together the warying groups to dialogue.Kenya has played an important role as a hub for United Nations Headquarters and hosting regional offices for international organizations and Non-Governmental organizations who have volunteered to assist in different ways and not forgetting Uganda especially for Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan and Tanzania having the refugee camp at Ngara and for flights to Rwanda and Burundi.Kenya has engaged in hosting the warrying groups from these countries for peace negotiation and infact even taken the initiative of being the Chair.Also Kenya lessened its regulations on V.A.T and any taxes on humanitarians goods by giving zero taxes.The stable East Africa countries even went as far as giving their police and army personnel for peace-keeping not only to the mentioned areas but for the entire world.
Flights Out Of Kenya,East Africa
Kenya being the headquarters for the United Nations it also plays an important role in refugee settlement where it has two camps namely,Kakuma in Northern and Daadab in North Eastern which has refugees from Somalia,South Sudan,Ethiopia,Dr Congo,Central Africa Republic and many others.Through Kenyas Mombasa Port these countries are able to receive consignment which go by road transport,rail transport or air transport and this entirely depends on the donors budget.There are companies in Kenya which owns trucks which can carry upto 40 tonnes ready to transport these goods backed up with air tarnsport with aircrafts which can carry from 1 tone to 40 tonnes of cargo. The air transport does not restrict its operations on cargo alone but they have aircrafts which are convertable to both cargo and passengers thus giving you the choice whereby you can carry half cargo and half passengers .Some of these aircrafts have short take offs and landing perfomance due to the state of the airstrips especially in South Sudan and Somalia which have potholes andd requires an aircraft which this perfomance.The fleet includes,Cessna Caravan 208 1 tone or 12 passengers,Let 410 18 passengers or 1.7 tones,Dash-8 37 seater or 3.5 tonnes,DHC-8 Buffalo 5 tones or 40 passengers,Fokker 27-500 series 40 pax or 5 tonnes,Dc-9 Freighter 80 pax or 10 tonnes.The DC-9 can only land in international airports like,Khartoum,Mogadishu International,Juba International,Entebbe International,Kilimanjaro ,Mwanza and Daresalam International and the Fokker 27 in Somalia can only land in Galgayo,Mogadishu K50,Mogadishu International,Berbera,Berdera,Belletuen,Bosaso,Garowe,Kismayu and not Marere,Dinsor,Jamame,Wajid,buale but the Let 410,Caravan,Buffalo,Dash-8 can land comfortably.Also there is Jomo Kenya International Airport,Moi Internationa Mombasa and Eldoret International which operates 24 hrs due to emergency evacuation.On the North Eastern Kenya there is Wajir airport which is fully equippped with immigration,customs ,security,health facilities,fire fighting and security screening machines and the law is any flights apart from UNITED NATIONS,INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS ,DDIPLOMATIC MISSIONS ,NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION haveto pass throught there for outward and inward flights for security screening due to the increased terrorism threats from Somalia where its believed the Alqaida are stationed.For the NGOS,UN,INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FLIGHTS a letter from the organization addressed to the Kenyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs is needed and with the full dedtails of the flight that,aircraft registration,nationality of crew,names and nationality of passengers if any,nature of goods,name of organization,airport of departure,time of departure,name of the operator, and

Kapotea,Yei,Malakal,Bentiu,Yambio,Yirol,Rumbek,Benashowa,Padak,Boma,Tambura,Wau,Akobo among others.Infact it is not like before where it was expensive to fly to South Sudan by having to take a private charter either from Uganda or Kenya as there are commercial flights on daily basis from Nairobi,Kenya to Rumbek,Juba,Khartoum and from Entebbe ,Uganda to South sudan and most interesting there are aircrafts based in Juba for your internal flights into South SUdan.From Kenya to Somalia you can get a commercial flight on Thursday and Sundays only upto Mogadishu Intermnational only and to DR Congo there is a scheduled flight to Kinshasha but you need to book one month in advance and there is a sheduled flight to Goma on Monday and friday every week and also space is scarce also bookings to be made in advance.In Kenya you can get all logistics solution be it for Bulky cargo or any kind of cargo including flying fresh products like,flowers,frozen meat,fish to anywhere in the world within a cuople of days.There are private executive jet flights also which can be used and they are faster cruising at 420 knots an hour for those executive whose schedule does not march with commercial flights on the CITATION BRAVO JET 7 seater with conference table and with all the hot luches,breakfast,hot andd soft drinks without leaving out champagne and DVD with an air hostess to look after your

Types of Services Provided
There different types of services provided as below,
Commercial Flights
Commercial flights are the cheapest as they serve on a seat basis opposed to private charter where you charter the entire aircrafts.There only one commercial flight from Kenya to Somalia ,Mogadishu International Airport and daily flights from Kenya,Jomo Kenyatta to Juba and 3 times weekly from Wilson to Rumbek in south sudan.There also commercial flights to Kinshasha,Goma,Rwanda,Burundi,Central Africa Republic but reservations has to be done amonth in advance.
Adhoc Flights(Private Charter Flights)
This is the most convinient and expensive mode of air transport but ideal for bussiness executive and project owners whose scheduled does not match the commercial flights.It more expensive than lease as there is no incentive given irrespective of the flights that you do in any given month.It is advisable for emergency and one on ,one off use but for bulky work use lease hire.The adhoc flight is advantageous us you need not to do any commitment like in lease or contract flying where you will have to committ a number of hours for a period of time and whether you fly or not you will have to pay.
Contract Flights ( Wet Lease or Dry Lease)
This is ideal for organization with bulk work of excess in 60 hours flying in amonth.You can decide to take dry lease on AI rate whereby you will employ your own crew,ddo your own maintenance,fuel,pay landing,navigation,parking and clearance fees and the lessor charges you aircraft and insurance but based on the set operational procedure and with a close check by the lessor.Wet lease is when you take aircraft on ACMI rate(Aircraft,Crew,Maintenance,Insurance) and pay for fuel,landing,crew per diem,accommodation ,meals,laundry,crew change return ticket,validation and work permit for pilots and engineer.The way to go is lease as you have the control of the entire operations and when you fly beyond the guaranteed hours the rate per hour reduces thus giving you a cost reduction advantage opposed to adhoc when this is not considered.With lease you will have the aircraft at your discretion and even if the lessor has to use it,consultations has to be done and agreed upon.
The Fleet
There are aircrafts like C-130 20 toner and the Buffallo 5 toner are suitable for air drops in hunger and war stricken areas with poor transport infrastructure.The Let 410 ,Buffalo,Caravan 208 are suitable to airstrip which are tidy as they have shart take off and landing perfomance.The crew needs to have an extensive experience especially in Airforce and bush flying to be able to cope with this kind of flying as you flying in countries where bombs,shooting is the order of the day and you need to have extra courage.
With all this it has made air transport the key player in Humanitarian & Relief work to unaccesible areas especially remote easier and quicker.With the new technology having introduced and manufactured aircrafts with ddifferent perfomance depending on the area of operation has also put the aviation a step ahead in the bussiness world.Also with the introduction of convertable aircrafts from cargo to passenger has made lives easier and all you have to do plan according take cargo come back with passenger and vise versa.
