Fastjet shifts ERJ to prepare for South African entry
Fastjet Group is aiming to establish a branded operation in South African in 2020 as a result of its investment in charter operator Federal Airlines. The group has a total of 4 ERJ-145s, which are operating for its Zimbabwe and Mozambique operations, following an overhaul of its activities and the divestment of its Tanzanian division. Fastjet Group says its fleet is “now optimally-sized” for the markets it serves. It has transferred 1 of its Embraer ERJ-145s to the South African register, placing it on the Federal Airlines air operator’s certificate as part of the preparation to create a South African division. Federal Airlines, which turned in a US$1.1m net profit last year, has a fleet of 14 smaller aircraft including Pilatus, Cessna and Beechcraft types, of which 4 are owned. <br/>
