Global Airways operates a mixed Airbus fleet of A320 Narrow Body and A340 Wide Body Aircraft, from our bases around the world. We can dispatch our aircraft to virtually any region in the world in a variety of customisable cabin configurations to suit any operational requirement.
Since introducing the Airbus fleet type in 2014, Global Airways has established itself as the second fully licensed and currently one of only two Airbus operators in South Africa. Through our Part 145 approved Aircraft Maintenance Organisation, Global Aerotech, we have the complete support of Airbus Industries to service and maintain our aircraft, conforming to the highest local and international industry standards.
The Airbus aircraft has proven to be both economical and versatile for Global Airways including our various airline partners worldwide, capable of adapting to their unique needs and requirements. Today, Global Airways proudly operates the largest privately owned fleet of Airbus aircraft in Sub-Saharan Africa
