About TigAir

We charter our own single engine Turbo prop aircraft in the Southern African region. Both our aircraft are New Generation, low time aircraft, equipped with state-of-the art avionics suites, flown by experienced and professional pilots on whom no expense has been spared in terms of training.

We fly single-engine turbo props because of their statistically proven safety track record over the last 10 years. Both our Pilatus PC 12 NG and our Cessna Grand Caravan G1000 are the safest, most economical, comfortable and quietest aircraft in their class.

Tigair proudly operates under the Execujet management team, using their luxury lounges and departure facilities at Lanseria, Johannesburg and at Cape Town International Airport. Both Aircraft are equipped to land at all the regions’ better quality airports and landing strips, including those with unimproved surfaces.

Single Engine Props

We fly only single-engined turboprops because of their statistically proven safety record, their efficiency, quietness and interior spaciousness.

The debate about the supposed safety of twin-engined turboprops vs single-engined turboprops has finally been put to rest by the actual performance and safety statistics accumulated over the last 10 years.

(Please read the USA published statistics.)

This is why the Pilatus PC12 and Cessna Caravan have been the best selling aircraft in their respective categories since their introduction.
