South African business aviation company announces new shareholding structure and brand

The Competition Commission has unconditionally approved the acquisition, by Parrot Aviation, of the 50% shareholding in CFS Aviation Group (CFS) that was previously held by Comair General Aviation Holdings. CFS was previously Comair Flight Services. Parrot Aviation was the holding company for Federal Airlines (FedAir).

CFS co-founder and CEO Justin Reeves simultaneously acquired the remaining shares, from minority shareholders. CFA is a business aviation company and this transaction ends its 12-year association with Comair.

“This marks an exciting new chapter in the CFS journey,” said Reeves. “The new structure reinforces our long-term vision, strengthens our shareholder base, and preserves our operational independence. Our clients can expect the same exceptional service, safety and professionalism they’ve come to know, with renewed energy and focus.”

Parrot Aviation’s ownership structure included majority black shareholding, including by black women. This aligns CFS with transformation.

CFS and FedAir will remain entirely separate in brand, operations and leadership (Reeves remains CEO). CFS continues to function under its own Air Operator Certificate. “The new structure allows us to sharpen our focus and continue doing what we do best – delivering the ultimate aviation experience.”

CFS is based at Lanseria International Airport. It offers aircraft management, sales, charter and fixed-base operations services.
