Henley Air

Henley Air is a privately owned helicopter operator based at Rand Airport in Germiston, South Africa. The company says it has close to 30 years of experience in rotor wing operations across Africa. Its base is close to the Johannesburg central business district and OR Tambo International Airport, which suits corporate and general aviation customers.

Charter flights are a core part of the business. Scenic flights over Johannesburg can be combined with a meal at one of the helicopter-friendly restaurants in the city. Guests can also book a romantic flight, and corporate groups can book a flight for clients or staff.

Henley Air offers specialised services that include long-standing corporate contracts, game capture and counting, utility operations and helicopter sling services. It also provides aeromedical standby for HEMS missions. The company refers customers to ROCKET Air Ambulance and ROCKET Air Rescue, which are fully licensed services for industries such as mining and construction.

The company runs Henley Air Drone Solutions, a SACAA licensed drone operator with BVLOS approval. Its drone work covers security, solar inspections, film production, live event coverage and 3D and orthomosaic mapping. Clients can contact the team to discuss their needs before a job is planned.

The Rand Airport base has three hangars covering 7,300 square metres. The facility provides secure hangarage with 24 hour surveillance, ground handling and maintenance. Guests can wait in an exclusive lounge or a fully equipped executive boardroom before a flight, which makes the base useful for meetings as well as flights.

Henley Air Flight Training is a fully licensed and equipped Air Training Organisation at Hangar 6 on Rand Airport. The school offers helicopter courses for the private and commercial pilot licences and the airline transport pilot licence. It also runs night, instrument, multi-engine and instructor ratings, along with MCC and NVIS night vision training.
