Private Charters
Personal, precise, and built around your journey.
At ELAS, every charter is designed around you — your schedule, your destination, and your reason for flying.
Whether you’re an international traveller connecting to a private lodge or resort, a family exploring South Africa’s coastlines, or a business executive on a tight timeline, our private air charters make travel seamless.
Depart when you choose, fly direct to where you need to be, and skip the delays of commercial travel. Our experienced team handles every detail — from flight planning to ground coordination — so your experience feels effortless from start to finish.
Based in East London, we connect travellers to destinations across South Africa — from major city hubs like Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Gqeberha, to coastal escapes and renowned safari regions throughout the country.
Whether you’re travelling for business or adventure, ELAS ensures precision, comfort, and care every step of the way.
