  Federal Airlines is one of the
  most multi-faceted aviation companies
  in South Africa having built up a
  comprehensive list of partners since
  the 1990’s. The airline also partners

  experiences and a number of services
  in SA that provide handling services,
  maintenance, road transfers and
  accommodation to name a few.
  Flying in the bush can be a

  suitable for many aircraft, hence the
  popularity that Cessna Caravan and
  Mustang, Pilatus PC-12, and King
  Air 200 enjoy with those operators
