208 Aviation is a Kodiak Service Centre

February 20, 2014

Wonderboom National Airport is one of the larger national airports within the Gauteng region, second only to Lanseria International Airport in size and importance. This survey was designed to be as 'inclusive' as possible and was therefore not limited to those companies that placed advertisements into this edition of African Pilot. For those companies that missed the opportunity this year, African Pilot will be repeating this exercise next year (2015) and hopefully by that time the management of those businesses would have realised the importance of the kind of exposure that a nationally distributed aviation magazine such as African Pilot can offer to aviation business.

Based at Wonderboom Airport, just North of Pretoria, 208 Aviation cc (AMO1148) has a full SA CAA Part 145 Aircraft Maintenance Organisation approval with categories A and C. The organisation maintains a variety of single and twin piston and turbine engine aircraft.

We specialise in Cessna 208/208B Caravan, Beechcraft King Air series, Eclipse 500/550 and Quest Kodiak 100 aircraft but are not limited to the mentioned aircraft types. 208 Aviation is also a proud authorised Blackhawk installation facility since 2011. In 2013, 208 Aviation was approved as a Quest Kodiak 100 Authorized Service Center.
