Star Air Cargo

Star Air Cargo is a South African aviation service provider specialising in wet-lease and ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) operations. The company operates as a mid-tier capacity provider within the African and Middle Eastern logistics chains, offering short-to-medium term aircraft availability for scheduled airlines and logistics integrators who require supplementary lift without the capital expenditure of permanent fleet expansion. The organisation’s fleet historically revolves around Boeing 737 classic and Next Generation variants, configured for both passenger and dedicated freighter roles. Key customers include regional African flag carriers and private express delivery firms. They provide the necessary technical infrastructure, including flight deck crews and line maintenance support, to maintain high-cycle utility in demanding operating environments. Prospective partners should verify the current air operator certificate status and specific regional operating permits for the intended theatre of service. It is also necessary to confirm the specific noise compliance stages of the airframes offered, particularly for operations into restricted international hubs, and to audit the company's recent safety management system records.
