Pilot Training & Standards
Our pilots are among the most qualified in Tanzania. They undergo regular recurrent training, simulator sessions, and strict medical checks. They are also familiar with Zanzibar’s unique wind patterns, coastal routes, and resort landing sites, ensuring confident and smooth operations in all conditions.
Weather & Flight Decisions
Safety always comes before schedule. We continuously monitor weather conditions across Zanzibar, Pemba, and the mainland. Flights only operate when conditions meet our strict safety criteria. If weather is unsuitable, we will inform you immediately and reschedule at the earliest safe opportunity at no extra cost.
Passenger Safety Briefing
Before every flight, our team provides a clear, detailed safety briefing covering:
- Seatbelt and door operation
- Emergency exits and procedures
- Luggage securing rules
- Headset usage and communication
- What to do in the unlikely event of an emergency
We encourage all passengers to ask questions before boarding.
Luggage & Weight Safety
To maintain balance and performance, we strictly enforce our 15 kg soft-bag luggage limit per person. Hard cases and wheeled luggage are not permitted in the helicopter compartment. Extra luggage can be arranged via ground transfer if needed. Total passenger and luggage weight is carefully calculated before every flight.
Emergency Preparedness
Our helicopters are equipped with:
- Life vests and flotation devices for over-water flights
- First-aid kits and emergency medical equipment
- ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) and satellite communication
- Fire suppression systems
We also maintain strong relationships with local emergency services and hospitals in Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam.
