Geotech Aviation was born out of the realisation of the benefits of an owned fleet versus third-party aircraft. Its origins stem from Geotech Airborne, a global leader in airborne geophysics. Many factors contributed to its successful establishment, such as the capability to maintain availability, quality, serviceability and safety. With Geotech being very active globally and a marked increase in aircraft movements, the need for an African base was finally fulfilled by launching Geotech Aviation South Africa. Geotech Aviation gained extensive initial experience in airborne geophysical survey support. Since then it has developed into an aviation company with all the necessary skills and capabilities to be able to offer versatile, safe and cost-effective solutions.
