Why charter on this route

Most of our Kayes flights carry crews and parts for the mines of the Kayes region and the Kéniéba area. We also arrange flights for government missions and delegations visiting Mali's first region.

Suitable aircraft

The Cessna Caravan suits small groups and light freight, including on laterite strips. The King Air 350 is faster and more comfortable for eight to nine passengers. If your final destination is a mine airstrip, we check its condition and the site's access approval before confirming the aircraft.

Formalities

Zone : Mali, Domestic flight.

Domestic flight: no border formalities. Each passenger needs valid identification. Flights to a mine site usually require prior approval from the mine operator.

Frequently asked questions

Can we land directly at the mine site?

Yes, if the mine has an approved airstrip and the operator agrees. We check the runway length and condition to choose the aircraft.

How quickly can a flight to Kayes be arranged?

A domestic flight can often leave the same day if an aircraft is available in Bamako. For regular rotations, we set up a schedule several weeks ahead.

Which aircraft for heavy parts?

A cargo Cessna Caravan carries about one tonne of freight, depending on fuel load. Above that, we propose a larger aircraft. Send us the weight and dimensions of each package.
