Kite Aviation Capital Refinances Fleet of Cessna Caravans Supporting Leading Safari Operators

Kite Aviation Capital is pleased to announce the refinancing of a fleet of four Cessna Caravan C208EX Grand aircraft, supporting operations for Wilderness (operated by Phoenix Aviation) and Federal Airlines in South Africa.

‍

The Cessna Caravan is a proven workhorse of African aviation, valued for its reliability, payload capacity, and ability to operate from remote and unpaved airstrips, making it a cornerstone of safari and regional air transport across the continent. This transaction reflects Kite Aviation Capital's ability to structure and deliver refinancing across multiple jurisdictions, supporting operators of the calibre of Wilderness and Federal Airlines, two of the region's most respected names in safari aviation.

Kite Aviation Capital is proud to strengthen its partnerships with both operators, reinforcing its commitment to providing flexible, long-term capital solutions that keep essential regional air services flying reliably across Africa.
