Lady Lori

Lady Lori is a helicopter charter company in Kenya. It was founded by American couple Jim and Lori Nooyer at Nanyuki airfield and later opened a second base at Wilson Airport in Nairobi. In 2013 the founders sold the business to senior staff, including the chief executive and maintenance manager.

The company flies private and safari charters, typically for lodges and tour operators, alongside conservation work such as aerial game counts, anti-poaching response flights and animal darting and relocation.

Reported fleet includes Airbus (Eurocopter) EC130 B4 and AS350 B3 helicopters and a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan. A 2013 report also noted a hot air balloon operation over the Masai Mara.

The same report states the company held ISO 9001 certification and was a member of the Kenya Association of Air Operators. These details are older and should be confirmed with the company, as its website was under reconstruction at the time of research.
