Elite Jet, which is operated by Johannesburg-based Medair Charter, has achieved a gold rating from Argus. It says it is one of only two companies in Africa to qualify for the gold-level accreditation. “This speaks volumes about the importance of safety for our company in general and, more specifically, the ways in which our pilots take care of their passengers on every flight,” says sales and marketing manager Greg Ermes.

Elite Jet has been built on the combined knowledge and experience of the directors of Medair Charter, which operates an air ambulance service and started Elite Jet to offer vip charter services in 2005.
