Yellow Wings Air Services Ltd

Yellow Wings Air Services Ltd is a Kenyan air operator based at Lengai House II, Wilson Airport, Nairobi. According to the company, it was incorporated in 1996 by Christian Strebel and received its first Air Operator Certificate in 1998, initially for a two-seat Piper Super Cub.

The company's early work was flying sales staff of agro-chemical firms to remote farms in Kenya. It later moved into charter and passenger transport over a wider region, and into commuter flying after adding piston Cessna 206 aircraft in 2003. Its most recent announced route is a direct service between Nairobi and Arusha in Tanzania.

Yellow Wings moved to turbine aircraft in 2010 with a factory-new Cessna 208 Grand Caravan, adding further Caravans in 2011, 2019 and 2023. Its fleet page lists four Cessna 208 Caravans (two 208B and two 208B EX) configured with 12 passenger seats, and states that it no longer operates piston aircraft. The listed avionics include weather radar, autopilot and synthetic vision.

The company describes itself as carbon neutral in conjunction with Wildlife Works, and links to a VERRA certificate. Flyers looking for single-engine turboprop access to East African airstrips may find the Caravan fleet suited to short regional sectors; current AOC details and destination list should be confirmed directly with the operator.
