Ferry Flights

Postby KFA » Tue Oct 12, 2010 7:29 pm

Hi Guys,
I am trying to determine if there is a market for a ferry flight service for NTCA aircraft.
IAW. If you want to bring your plane for a service to Komatipoort, or want to take it from Phalaborwa to Wonderboom etc. I know lots of guys don't have the time or do not want to challenge the mountains. We are looking at making a com pilot available for this service.

Any body interested?

Depends on the Cost. There is huge demand for this service out in the sticks but the oukes are usually not keen to pay more than just fuel.... Helps hr builders, but commercially doubt it viable. Esp if the Service is like R3000 and the ferry is same price...

just my 2c...

It's more of an hour building exercise. The cost will be to get the pilot to the plane and back home when done. Small fee per hour maybe, something like a R100-150/flying hour depending on the lenght of the trip
