Once in South Africa, the aircraft will support Safomar’s continued efforts to demonstrate the capabilities of the Enstrom 480B while strengthening customer relationships throughout the region.

Teaming up with DSA Aviation Company and Lom Praha will allow Enstrom to have stronger product representation in the region, bringing more services and expertise closer to mutual customers.

This announcement follows the 2025 approval of Enstrom's crash resistant fuel system, which was the final hurdle restricting sales. The new model is designed to minimise the risk of post-impact fuel fires during crashes.
