Acher Aviation is introducing helicopter charter services from ExecuJet's FBO at Cape Town international airport, South Africa. The service will utilise a six passenger Bell 407.

Director of aviation services for Africa at ExecuJet Mike Clark says: “There have been an increasing number of requests for helicopter charter services in Cape Town. We are delighted we can now provide services with all the necessary safety and quality standards in place.”

The company will also be the official helicopter operator for the 12th edition of the Absa Cape Epic, which will take place in mid March. The annual mountain bike stage race held in the Western Cape, South Africa, attracts elite professional mountain bikers from around the world.

ExecuJet will be following the race at every stage, operating in line with the company's internationally recognised safety standards. The Bell 407 and a Robinson R44 will be used for media and hospitality flying as well as operating shuttles to and from Cape Town international airport for the duration of the event.

Rotary wing manager Greg Binnie says: “We are committed to providing the highest level of service and make no compromise when it comes to safety.”
