Fleet

Civair (IATA: 2I, ICAO: CIW) is a charter aviation operator headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa. Since its founding in 1989, the airline has focused exclusively on aircraft charter services rather than scheduled commercial flights, positioning itself as a flexible transport solution for corporate, leisure, and emergency medical operations.

Based at Cape Town International Airport, Civair's hub serves as a strategic base for operations across southern Africa. The airline maintains a fleet of 12 aircraft comprising both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, including the Pilatus PC-12, King Air B200GT, Cessna 207, and Cessna 414. This mix of aircraft allows the operator to serve diverse charter requirements, from smaller regional routes to longer-distance missions.

As a charter-only operator, Civair does not operate scheduled airline services with published timetables or fixed routes. Instead, customers arrange flights on-demand through direct contact with the airline. This model offers flexibility in departure times, routing, and aircraft selection, making it suitable for clients requiring customized air transport solutions in regions where commercial airline infrastructure may be limited.
