Flying Sable Out Of Zambia

[Journey Man]

Anyone able to post up the letter? Not yet seen it, only heard about it. Sounds like a hilarious parting shot and a good insight into the Zamfari shambles... From what I hear they thought of themselves as the unfairly wronged. I'm sure all those chasing their money paid upfront for training and charters that never materialised will no doubt contest that...!

It never ceases to amaze me that people in Zambia STILL fall for the likes of Zamfari etc.
As far as charter/scheduled companies go there are basically three who have gone the distance, suffered incredible difficulties and hardships and have pulled through regardless. They are PROFLIGHT, STARAVIA and AVOCET. Remember those names and use them when you wish to fly in Zambia. At the moment there is also Zambezi for regional flights.
Stick with those companies for your needs and you will be ok.
People like Zamfari have come and gone. It's always better when they're gone.

Just as a matter of interest, is Airwaves Airlink still operating in Zambia?

[Carrier]

After two fatal crashes in 2003 and 2004 Airwaves quit. Apparently the employees were dismissed and some or all of the aircraft that Airwaves owned were taken over by Zambian Airways, which itself became defunct early this year.
