South African-based private aviation and charter company Fireblade Aviation is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Initially set up as the Anglo American flight department several decades ago, the operation was rebranded to Fireblade Aviation in 2014. The company said it offers “a one-stop shop for business and leisure travelers, aircraft owners and operators, and tour operators” at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport.

“Tourism has been in a transformative space in recent years, with charter services being more accessible not only for business travel but leisure and group leisure travel as well. More individuals are realizing that the cost associated with private aviation is not as prohibitive as one might think,” said Fireblade Aviation managing director Leigh Kretzschmar.
