Nairobi roots. Worldwide reach.
Global Jet Air is a Nairobi-based operator delivering private jet charter, air cargo and ACMI leasing across six continents — with the responsiveness of a local team and the reach of a global network.
A certified operator built for global missions.
Founded in Nairobi in 2009, Global Jet Air began as a specialist charter desk serving East Africa's mining, humanitarian and diplomatic communities. Today we operate a mixed fleet of passenger and freighter aircraft from our bases at Wilson Airport (WIL) and Jomo Kenyatta International (NBO), with partner handling at over 400 airports worldwide.
We are not brokers — we are operators. Every flight is crewed, maintained and dispatched under our own safety management system, audited to IS-BAO Stage III and ARGUS Platinum standards. Whether you need a light jet to Mombasa or a 747 freighter to Geneva, the same duty officer answers your call.
Headquartered where Africa connects.
Our operations centre at Wilson Airport runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. From here we coordinate crew rostering, permit applications, fuel uplifts and ground handling across the continent — and beyond. JKIA Cargo Village gives us dedicated freight capacity for time-critical and oversize shipments.
- Wilson Airport (WIL) — executive charter & light freight
- JKIA Cargo Village (NBO) — wide-body freighter & CBRN handling
- Partner FBOs in Dubai, London, Singapore and Johannesburg
- Average aircraft activation under 2 hours from confirmed booking
