Our Fleet

Safe, reliable, fast, and comfortable.

Aircraft enthusiasts recognise that our fleet is made up of classic models that stood the test of time. Our maintenance and upgrade routines – informed by international best practice – allow our aircraft to compete with the best. We provide efficient transport, safety, and comfort for our passengers as they start their safari experience. Our fleet is tailored to operate and land on short runways – for short take offs and landing – and able to navigate all terrain around the region’s many bush airstrips.

Shared across the AirKenya, Regional Air, and AeroLink Uganda teams, our fleet opens gateways across East Africa, through local and international flights, charter flights, and scheduled services.
