In their words
Incorporating Yellow Wings Air Services in 1996 and receiving the first Air Operators Certificate with the 2-seater SuperCub in 1998, Christian was initially flying salespeople of agro-chemical companies to remote farms and businesses in Kenya. This soon evolved into a charter and passenger transport service with flights across a much larger region.
In April 1998, Yellow Wings acquired a 4 seater C182 and in 2003 went on to acquire its first of two, piston-powered C206 aircraft.
With a fleet of 4-piston aeroplanes from 2-6 seaters, Yellow Wings spread its wings and expanded into the expansive commuter market.

A wonderful company, who went over and above expectations. As a nervous flyer, I felt completely comfortable with our charter to Ithumba. The ground crew, especially Kelvin was wonderful when my daughter was taken poorly, I cannot recommend this company enough. Thank you all for going above and beyond for your customers.

Took my little one for a hands on flight training programme for young aviators and the experience was worth everything from interacting with simulators that student pilots use and also getting the chance to be at the airfield for plane sightings and finally being able to experience the Cesna Caravan cockpit

Fantastic experience. Starting from the planning and booking of the journey until the delivery of our luggage at our final destination. Highly professional and very welcoming staff, we felt very safe at any time and in good hands during the whole flight. One of the most memorable experiences for the whole family!

Christian and Dalitso flew our family three times during our stay in the Mara and Laikipia. Each trip was fantastic—the planes were immaculate and the flights seamless. They couldn’t have been more courteous, professional, knowledgeable or talented. Christian also happens to be an excellent guitar player! We highly recommend Yellow Wings!
