UAS International Trip Support - Africa Headquarters

UAS International Trip Support is a business aviation services company headquartered in Dubai. In 2014 it opened an African headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa, which aviation press described as the regional hub for the group's work across the continent, alongside offices in Lagos and Nairobi.

The company's core business is trip support for aircraft operators and private owners: flight planning and coordination, overflight and landing permits, fuel services, ground handling, flight monitoring, and crew and passenger logistics. It also offers charter and executive travel services.

UAS does not appear to operate its own aircraft. Charter requests are best understood as being arranged with third-party operators, so travellers should ask which operator and aircraft will fly the trip.

For private flyers, the Johannesburg office is most relevant to trips into and within Africa, where permits, handling and fuel arrangements can be complex. Coverage reported in 2014 included support staff in nine African countries, among them Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and South Africa.
