Charter and cargo flights, arranged around you

Mohahlaula Airlines plans tailored passenger and cargo flights for business, government and NGO clients across Southern Africa. Every trip is quoted to your route, aircraft and schedule.

We are a charter and contract operator, not a travel agency. We do not sell single commercial tickets.

Who we serve

Private aviation for those who need the whole aircraft

Mohahlaula Airlines is built for organisations and individuals who need a flight shaped around a specific requirement, and who value control over route, timing and aircraft enough to pay a premium for it. Many people mistake us for a travel agent or a scheduled airline and expect the price of a single ticket. That is not what we do.

If you are moving a delegation, a project team, executives or cargo, and a fixed timetable does not fit, we are the right operator to call.

We are built for

  • Businesses moving executives, staff or clients
  • Government, diplomatic and official travel
  • NGOs moving teams and relief cargo
  • Mining, construction and project logistics
  • Time-critical, outsized and sensitive cargo
  • Private clients who need a tailored trip

We are not

  • A travel agency or ticket reseller
  • A scheduled commercial airline
  • A single low-cost ticket service

The only seat-by-seat fares we offer are empty legs. These are discounted repositioning flights sold off the back of our charter and contract work.

What we do

Four ways we get you and your cargo where you need to be

From a single charter to full trip and flight support across African airspace, each service is arranged to the trip in front of us, not sold from a fixed menu.

Common questions

Before you enquire

Is Mohahlaula Airlines a commercial airline or a travel agency?

Neither. We are a charter and contract air operator. We plan private flights for a single client or organisation at a time, rather than selling seats on scheduled services or acting as a travel agent.

Do you sell single tickets?

No. Our flights are chartered as a whole aircraft for passengers or cargo. The only seat-by-seat fares we offer are empty legs, which are discounted repositioning flights sold off the back of our charter and contract work.

How much does a charter cost?

Every flight is quoted to the specific route, aircraft and requirement. Most charter and contract engagements begin in the region of LSL 25,000 and scale with distance, aircraft type and cargo. Tell us your trip and we will prepare a tailored quote.

Where is Mohahlaula Airlines based?

We are based at Moshoeshoe I International Airport, Hangar 2B, Mazenod, Lesotho, and operate across Southern African airspace.

What can you carry?

Passengers and cargo. To date we have flown more than 260 charter passengers and carried over 10 tonnes of cargo, using eight aircraft types, with more available on request.
