The AXIS fleet

The AXIS Aviation fleet comprises 21 aircraft across multiple categories, from single-engine turboprops through light, midsize and super-midsize jets to heavy jets. Examples include the Pilatus PC-12 turboprop, the Bombardier Challenger 350 super-midsize jet and the Embraer Legacy 650 heavy jet.

At a high level, turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12 are cost-effective for shorter regional sectors and smaller airfields. Light and midsize jets carry more passengers with greater speed and range, while heavy jets offer the largest cabins and the longest range for intercontinental trips. The right category depends on your passenger count, distance and comfort needs.

The fleet page includes a Compare aircraft side by side tool and a Capabilities at a glance table listing category, seats, range and cruise speed for every aircraft. You can review these specifications directly, or ask our charter team to shortlist aircraft that suit your trip.

Share your route, passenger count and dates with our charter team and they will match the right aircraft to your trip. Longer sectors and larger groups point toward midsize or heavy jets, while shorter regional legs are often best served by a light jet or turboprop.

Availability varies by date, so the fastest way to confirm is to request a quote or contact our charter team. Reach us on +27 11 548 3000 or email africa-ops@axis-aviation.com with your route, dates and passenger numbers.
