Overview
Over the last 25 years since its formation, Air Serv Limited has grown into a respectable air charter operator in Eastern Africa, with one of the region’s best aviation safety records. The company operates a fleet of five Cessna 208 Caravans,[3] each with a seating capacity for twelve passengers.
