Our Resources

As part of a regional consortium of six airlines operating across the East and Central African region, Elgini Aviation has access to a diverse and versatile fleet designed to support passenger transport, cargo operations, and aviation support services across a wide range of operating environments.

This shared fleet resource strengthens operational resilience, expands regional reach, and enables flexible deployment based on route demand, cargo requirements, and mission profiles — while each airline operates under its own regulatory approvals and operational control.

Consortium Fleet Overview

The consortium fleet comprises a mix of jet and turboprop aircraft, optimized for short- to medium-haul regional operations, including:

  • DC-9 Series Aircraft

    Proven regional jet platforms suitable for higher-capacity passenger and cargo operations on established routes within the East and Central African region.

  • Dash 8 Q400 Aircraft

    Modern turboprops offering excellent fuel efficiency, speed, and performance on short and medium regional sectors.

  • Fokker 50 Aircraft

    Robust and reliable turboprops well suited to mixed passenger and cargo roles, particularly in demanding operating conditions common across the region.

  • LET 410 Aircraft

    Versatile short-take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft ideal for secondary airports, remote locations, and feeder operations throughout East and Central Africa.

Operational Flexibility

The diversity of the consortium fleet allows for:

  • Matching aircraft type to route and payload requirements
  • Efficient operations into both primary and secondary airports
  • Support for mixed passenger and cargo missions
  • Enhanced dispatch reliability through fleet availability

This flexibility is particularly valuable in the East and Central African region, where terrain, infrastructure, and market demand can vary significantly.

Maintenance & Technical Support

All aircraft within the consortium are supported by:

  • Approved maintenance programmes
