About Henley Air
We are dedicated to helicopter charter and helicopter pilot training excellence in the South African aviation industry.
What started out in 1995 as a dream has today grown into a major operation at Rand Airport, Johannesburg. The early years saw us using one Bell JetRanger, today we provide our clients with a variety of single and multi-engine aircraft to meet their diverse requirements.
From the time you check in, to the time you board your flight, the HENLEY AIR experience is unique and personal. So, come fly with us as we look forward to sharing in your adventure.
