Continuing their strong growth, Cemair have added yet another CRJ900 to their fleet, bringing their total to four of this type. This one, ZS-CMU, was the registration of a Cessna 182 which was cancelled way back.
Some unusual imports were a Piper PA36285 Brave, which is a crop sprayer, a Lear Jet from the USA and an Airvan from Botswana. The Piper Brave takes up the registration of a Cessna 210 which went to Tanzania in 2014.
There were three Cessna 172s delivered in a dismantled state, to Rand airport during the month from Botswana and two of these have now come on to the register. In total nine new TCA registrations were issued this month, including a new glider.
