History of Studio 88 Aviation
Studio88 first came into being in the year 2001 (founded by Mr. Lawrence Wernars). A retail clothing company with over 88 stores located across the length and breadth of South Africa, it soon became obvious to Mr Wernars that he would need the services of a business aircraft.
Necessity is the mother of invention, or so we are often told. Realizing that there was a need for safe, affordable private charters to business owners in a similar predicament, the Studio88 Aviation company was established. In a fast paced world where time is money, having a reliable air charter service that can deliver you safely to your destination, on schedule, is a necessity.
Every business traveller is familiar with the frustration of delayed flights, traffic jams and the inconvenience of having to postpone important business meetings due to unforeseen delays at the airport. Bearing all this in mind, the Studio88 Aviation company has created a more streamlined operation that ensures you arrive at your destination on time.
Travelling via private charter is a very different experience to the available commercial flights offered by local commercial carriers. Convenience, privacy, comfort and world class service combine to offer you a unique experience. Bear in mind that a privately chartered jet or turboprop aircraft can be booked at your convenience, to fly when it suits your schedule.
Commercial carriers travel to a select range of destinations, usually International airports, but with a private charter you can be transported to literally hundreds of airfields around the country. This can also cut down on your travel time from the airfield to your destination. You can thus enjoy a high level of personal service and rest assured in the knowledge that you have your own personal flight service available at a time that is convenient for your purposes.
